History
The building in the 1870s

Amaliegade 16 was one of several houses in the street that was designed by Nicolai Eigtved who a few years prior had also created the masterplan for the new Frederiksstaden district. It was built after his death by his successor Lauritz de Thurah in 1756-1757 for master timber Johan Andreas Pfüntzer (ca.1708-ca.1764).

The building was in 1806 owned by a member of the Drewsen family. F. C. Bülow (1769-1844), a military officer, resided in one of the apartments from 1805 to 1810.[1]

Architecture

Amaliegade 16 consists of three storeys over a high cellar. The building is seven bays wide and has a three-bay median risalit. The median risalit was originally tipped by a triangular pediment but it was removed in 1867 and replaced by the current three-bay wall dormer in 1895. The median risalit is divided horizontally by a cornice between the first and second floor. It originally ran along the full width of the building. The keystone above the gate features a carved coat of arms.[2]

The roof is a Mansard roof with black tile towards the street the street while it is clad with winged red tile towards the courtyard. The central three-bay wall dormer is flanked by two smaller dormer windows.

A four-storey, six-bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building.
