History

Nyhavn 12 was built in c. 1770 for merchant and shipowner Andreas Bodenhoff.

The economist Oluf Christian Olufsen (1764-1827) was a resident in the building in 1809–10. He worked for Det Classenske Fideikommis and became a professor at the University of Copenhagen in 1815. The deaf-mute painter Andreas Herman Hunæus lived in the building from 1857 to 1863..[1] The building was listed by the Danish Heritage Agency in the Danish national registry of protected buildings in 1817. The registration was expanded in 2000.

Holmegaard Glass Factory operated a glass shop in the ground floor from 1918 to 1973.

Architecture

The building is six bays wide and has a Mansard roof with a large wall dormer. A 13-bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building.

Today

The florist Port Nouveau - Erik Buch is located in the ground floor. A number of small law firms, including Mikael Skjødt Advokater and Kåre Pihlmann, are also based in the building.
