History

Gammel Strand 38 was built in 1798–1799 for coppersmith Christian Petersen after the previous building on the site had been destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.[1]

The author Thomasine Gyllembourg and her son Johan Ludvig Heiberg were among the residents in the building in 1817–18. The banker G. A. Gedalia (1816–1892) was a resident in the building in 1852–53 and again in the years around 1886.[1]

Anthon Berg (1829–1916) lived in the building from 1884 to 1887. He started his production of chocolate in the ground floor on 7 April 1884.

Architecture

The building consists of four storeys over a raised cellar and is just three bays wide. The ground floor is clad in painted wood with pilasters between the windows while the three upper floors stand in undressed brick. Between the central windows of the first and second floor is a recessed rectangular frieze with vase and festoons. The facade is finished by a plastered dentilated cornice. A seven bays long side wing projects from the rear side of the building. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.[2]

Today

Krogs Fiskerestaurant, a fish restaurant, is based in the ground floor.
