History

Nyhavn 41 was built between 1698 and 1699 for Hans Bentsen and was then a two-storey building. It was heightened with one storey some time between 1731 and 1753.[1] The building has also been operated as a hotel under the name Hotel King Edwar[2]

Simmelhag & Holm, a wholesaler of products from Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, has also been based in the building. The company was founded by Andreas Simmelhag in 1834 and taken over by his son F. C. Simmelhag (1843-1906) and C. F. Holm after his death in 1860. Andreas Wilian Simmelhag, the founder's grand son, became a partner in 1891. The company was still located in the building in 1950.[3]

The building is three storeys tall, five bays wide and has a three-nau gabled wall dormer. A gable stone with a relief of a compass. It was installed in 1761.[4]
