Abel Cathrines Stiftelse, Social foundation in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The red brick building features a symmetrical four-wing design with 31 residences located at Abel Cathrines Gade 13 in Copenhagen.
Abel Cathrine von der Wisch, a lady-in-waiting to Queen Sophie Amalie, established the foundation in 1675 to provide housing for poor women.
The structure, completed in 1886 by architect Hermann Baagøe Storck, represents early National Romantic architecture in Danish building tradition.
The foundation transformed into a municipal refuge for homeless individuals after 1949 when the original charitable organization dissolved.
Memorial plaques in the entrance vestibule document the foundation's mission to support impoverished, ill, and bedridden individuals in Copenhagen.
