History

Kronprinsessegade 44 was built in 1804-1805 by master timber Peder Christian Sabroe (c.1742-????). The building was heightened with one floor in 1846.

Den Indre B's Kristelige sociale Arbejde operated a combined daycare and after school programme (fritidshjem) in the building from around 1900. The building was adapted in 1927-1928.[1]

In 1972, Jacob Gades Legat purchased the building. It was subsequently converted into a hall of residence for students at the Royal Danish Academy of Music. The last regular tenants moved out in 2009. The building was refurbished in 2012-14 with assistance from Erik Møller Arkitekter.

Today

The complex comprises 21 apartments. Several students share each apartment.
