History

The building was constructed between 1724 and 1738 but has later undergone a number of changes. It was in the 19th century home to a hotel called Stadt Flensburg.[1] The tavern in the ground floor is supposedly the oldest in Nyhavn. It has been operated under a number of dirrent names, including Cafe Bulbjærg and Cafe Shanghai, but is now called Skipperkroen.[2]

Architecture

Nyhavn 27 was constructed as a two-storey, gour bays wide building between 1724 and 1738. The facade towards the canal was built in brick while the other sides were constructed with timber framing. This building was in 1784 heightened by one floor as well as a Mansard roof with a two-bay wall dormer. The building was between 1784 and 1789 lengthened by two bays, a side wing and a warehouse were constructed on the rear, and the facade towards the courtyard was partly rebuilt in brick. A two and a half bay gateway from 1784 was removed in 1842. Pilasters and a cornice between the ground floor and first floor were added in 1877.[3]

The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945..[4]
