Suhr House, Neoclassical building in central Copenhagen, Denmark
The Suhr House is a neoclassical building at Gammeltorv 22 in central Copenhagen. It features rustication on the ground floor, Ionic pilasters rising above, a rectangular pediment, and extends into a side wing and rear wing constructed of red brick.
The building rose after the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, replacing three smaller properties that had been consolidated by Ole Hansen Aagaard. The Suhr family acquired the site in 1749 and has maintained ownership ever since.
Theodor Suhr opened the house as a gathering place for Copenhagen's writers and artists starting in 1814. Notable figures like author Johan Ludvig Heiberg regularly visited and contributed to the creative circles that formed here.
The building is located in a central square within Copenhagen's old town and is easily reached on foot. Since it remains a private residence under family management, visitors can view and photograph it from the Gammeltorv square to appreciate its architectural details.
The property has been managed by the Suhr family for more than 270 years and is currently administered by Den Suhrske Stiftelse, a family foundation. This long-term continuity keeps the building a living part of Copenhagen's residential heritage.
