Zinn House, Historic merchant townhouse in central Copenhagen, Denmark

The three-story building on Kvæsthusgade features distinctive oriel windows and stands near the Nyhavn Canal in central Copenhagen's waterfront district.

Merchant Oluf Blach initiated construction in 1751, and Johann Ludvig Zinn acquired the property in 1757, establishing it as his trading house in 1765.

Composer Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann resided in the house for over 70 years, from 1829 to 1900, while serving as organist at nearby churches.

The building, now owned by Nordea Properties, contains residential apartments following a renovation by Holsøe Arkitekter after decades of commercial use.

On January 20, 1794, La Marseillaise was performed during a dinner at the house, marking a notable event given Denmark's stance on revolutionary songs.
