Pilestræde 41–45

Pilestræde 41–45, Neoclassical building from 1786 in Old Town, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Description

Pilestræde 41-45 is a five-story neoclassical building from 1786 with a uniform plastered facade, grey-painted sandstone accents, red-tiled roofs, and chamfered corners along the street. The ground floor contains retail spaces, including a flagship store, while upper floors house residential condominiums with shared access.

History

The building was constructed between 1784 and 1786 by master mason Johan Peter Boye Junge during a period of urban expansion that included creating Kronprinsensgade street. It stands as an example of 18th-century architectural development in Copenhagen's Old Town.

Culture

The building housed notable residents including actors Michael and Johanne Rosing, printer Andreas Flinch, and ballet master August Bournonville from the Royal Danish Ballet. These inhabitants shaped Copenhagen's cultural life through their artistic work.

Practical

The building is freely accessible from outside and sits in the heart of Copenhagen's Old Town within walking distance of other historic sites. Adjacent retail areas and the surrounding public space are accessible during normal city hours.

Did you know?

Three separate buildings at numbers 41, 43, and 45 were merged into one property in 1935 and received protected status in 1945. This consolidation allowed the interior spaces to be modernized while keeping the distinctive outer facade intact.
