Overgaden Oven Vandet 8

The building stands with a seven-bay facade featuring pilasters and a decorative gate adorned with a seashell keystone relief along Christianshavn Canal.

Hans Caspersen, an anchor smith, purchased the property in 1782 and expanded it to three floors during extensive renovations between 1782 and 1783.

The 1840 census revealed a diverse community of 32 residents, including tailors and tea traders, reflecting the social fabric of nineteenth-century Copenhagen.

The structure received official protection status in 1918 through registration in the Danish registry of protected buildings, ensuring its preservation for future generations.

The building forms part of the Hans Caspersen House complex, connecting with Overgaden Neden Vandet 33 and Overgaden Oven Vandet 50 along the canal.
