History

Construction

edit

Kronprinsessegade was created in 1802 on a strip of land that had until then been part of Rosenborg Castle Garden. The land had been presented to the City of Copenhagen by the Crown as partial compensation for a regulation of the city's street network following the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.[1] A large plot of land was acquired by the master builder Johan Martin Quist (now No. 6–18).The site now known as Kronprinsessegade 18 was initially referred to as lots No. 1 and No. 2A. The still undeveloped property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 391 in St. Ann's West Quarter. The present building on the site was finally constructed by Qvist in 1807–13 as the last of his seven Kronprinsessegade buildings.[2]
