18th century

The site was formerly part of a much larger property, comprising present-day Lille Strandstræde 8, Nyhavn 41-49 and Toldbodgade 1-3, This large property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 28 in St. Ann's East Quarter and belonged to tanner Villum Lydersen at that time.[1]

The property was divided into a number of smaller properties in around 1740. The property now known as Lille Strandstræde 7 belonged to Jacob Lindemann in 1731. The present building on the site was most likely constructed for merchant Andreas Bodenhoff some time before 1757, but then as a two-storey, half-timbered building with a facade crowned by a central gabled wall dormer. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 103 in St. Ann's East Quarter and now owned by the Garrison Church (then referred to as Herre Zebaoths Kirkes). The church's rectory was located at present-day Store Strandstræde 18. This property continued all the way through the block and its rear side was thus located approxumately opposite No. 103 (Lille Strandstræde 8).[1]
