History

The house was built in 1769 for master stonemason Johan Friedrich Lohmann.[1] Born in Hannover, Lohmann had come to Denmark in c. 1760 where he initially worked for royal stone carver Jacob Fortling. He became licensed as a master stone carver in 1766. Lohman worked at the Royal Frederik Stone Quarry on Bornholm from 1779 but died the following year.[2]

The writer Carl Brosbøll, better known under his pseudonym Carit Etlar, lived in the building as a student in 1848-49.[1]

Architecture

Ny Kongensgade consists of three floors over a cellar and is five bays wide. A side wing, probably from the 1770s, extends from the rear side of the building. A three-bay rear wing from 1813 was built for timber merchant Andreas Collstrup. The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places on 31 March 1931.[3]

Today

The building contains apartments on all floors.
