Nytorv 19, Neoclassical building at Nytorv square, Denmark

The five-bay wide brick structure features a bluish-grey plastered facade with decorative cornices and friezes along the southern edge of Nytorv square.

Following the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, merchant Hans Jessen initiated the construction of this building in 1797 as part of the city's reconstruction efforts.

The building served as Otto B. Wroblewski's bookshop from 1877 to 2005, establishing itself as a center for literature distribution in Copenhagen.

The structure at Nytorv 19 connects to neighboring buildings, with the Krak House at number 18 and the Copenhagen Jailhouse extension at number 21.

During the 1787 census, the previous building at this location housed 69 residents across 10 households, including blacksmiths, a beer seller, and a soldier.
