History
The building with a H. J. Wenger wine store located in the ground floor

The building was constructed in 1855 to design by Niels Sigfred Nebelong.[1]

Four Sisters of St. Joseph, who came to Denmark in 1856 to establish a Catholic school, initially stayed in the cellar at Sankt Annæ Plads 2.[2]

The art historian Julius Lange lived in an apartment facing Sankt Annæ Plads from 1893 until his death three years later.

H. J. Wengel & Co., a wine store owned by H. J. Wengel (1873-) and Vald. Reyn (1869-1935), was from 1900 based in the ground floor. Wengel was in 1950 the sole owner of the store.[3] The premises were later taken over by Arnbaks Kunsthandelm, a commercial art gallery.

The building was listed on the Danish Registry of Protected Buildings and Places in 1987.[4]

Architecture

The building has three bays on Bredgade, a rounded corner bay, 11 bays on Snakt Annæ Plads and a half-hipped, two-bay gable facing the grounds of the Garrison Square. The roof features a series of dormers. The original shop windows were a relatively new phenomenon when it was built in 1855.

On the gable facing the Garrison Church is a plaque that commemorates the four sisters of Saint Joseph who initially stayed in the building.

Today

The building now contains a Montana Store in the ground floor.
