History

Construction

The site was one of several lots at the northern end of Amaliegade that were acquired by royal building inspector Caspar Frederik Harsdorff. His project for the area was rejected and he was at the same time faced with severe economic difficulties. Andreas Hallander and Johan Martin Quist, two of his former students, saved him from bankruptcy by acquiring the Amaliegade lots. Quist, who had acquired the one furthest to the south, began the construction of Amaliegade 43 in about 1790. The building was later completed by Hallander in 1792-1793. It was built for admiral Jørgen Balthazar Winterfeldt.[1]

In 1919, Peter de Nully Brown was among the residents. Count Cai Friedrich Reventlow (1753-1834) lived in the building in 1802-03. Professor of history at the University of Copenhagen Frederik Schiern (1816-1882) was a resident in the building from 1853 to 1859. C. F. W. Rosenberg (1829-1885), a literary historian, was also a resident in 1857.[1] The building was before 2008 acquired by Jeudan.

Alfred Christensen's shipping company was also based in the building.

Architecture

The building consists of three storeys over a high cellar and is just three bays wide. The roof, wit its three dormers of which the central one is a two-bay wall dormer, dates from 1871.[2] A three-storey, six bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building.

Today

The building has been converted into office space. Current tenants include P&i Services Denmark, a service provider for the gloval P&I Club industry, and the Rasmus Nissen law firm.
