History

Nyhavn 33 was built between 1684 and 1696 for skipper Jørgen Olsen and was then a two-storey building. The building was later owned by Rasmus Christensen Koch, a manufacturer of sails, flags and compasses. The third floor was added in 1767. The military officer C. I. von Flensborg (1804-1852) lived in the building in 1838-1839. He became Chief of Staff of the Royal Danish Army in 1849-1850 and served as Minister of Defence in 1851-1852. The fourth floor was added in 1850.[1]

The building was listed by the Danish Heritage Agency in the Danish national registry of protected buildings in 1945. A tobacconist was for many years located in the ground floor. It was later succeeded by Nyhavnscaféen.[2]
