Rosenborggade 7–9, 19th century residential building in Old Town, Copenhagen, Denmark
Rosenborggade 7-9 is a 19th-century corner building located at the intersection of Rosenborggade and Tornebuskegade, connected to neighboring structures with a former warehouse in the courtyard. Today the ground floor holds commercial spaces, while the converted warehouse contains modern office areas used by current business tenants.
The corner building was expanded and renovated from 1846 to 1847 by master tanner Johan Julius Gram, who added the structure at number 7. The new spaces were designed as rental apartments facing the street and reflected urban growth in central Copenhagen during that period.
The street name references the nearby Rosenborg Palace, which once dominated this neighborhood's character. The building reflects its role as a home for educated and artistically inclined residents who chose to live and work in this area.
The building is well situated in Copenhagen's Old Town and easily accessible on foot, with shops at ground level and offices that remain busy throughout the day. The courtyard provides a quiet passage and is simple to navigate for pedestrians walking through the surrounding streets and neighboring structures.
Actors Ludvig and Louise Phister lived in a second-floor apartment at number 7 starting in 1859 and remained there for the rest of their lives. Their long presence in this house made it a gathering point for Copenhagen's theater and art community.
