History
editRawert
editKronprinsessegade 26 was built by city builder (stadskonduktør) Jørgen Henrich Rawert in 1805–1806. He also constructed the neighbouring buildings at No. 28 and No. 30. Rawert lived in the building at No. 26 from 1806 to 1816.[1]
The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 394 in St. Ann's West Quarter.[2]

In 1810, Rawert parted with the property. The buyers were Otto Ditlev Kaas-Lehn, til Stamhuset Nedergaard (1882–1811) and a man named Smidt. Kaas-Lehn was the son of admiral Frederik Christian Kaas and Edele Sofie Kaas (Sparre), til Stamhuset Nedergaard. He was married to Christiane Henriette von Barner til Berritsgaard.
