History

Rådhusstræde 3 was built in 1796-1797 for brewer Carl Adolph Frost after the previous building at the site had been destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.[1]

The theologian and filologist Børge Riisbrigh Thorlacius (1775-1829) was a resident in the building from 1804 to 1821. The statician and historian Frederik Thaarup (1766-1845) was a resident in the building in 1831–32. He had just served as editor of Nyeste Skilderie af Kjøbenhavn from 1825 to 1831. The writer M. A. Goldschmidt (1819-1887) was a resident in the building in 1859.[1]

Harald Carstensen (died 1927) established a sugar refinery in the building on 4 April 1878. The company was in 1903 converted into a limited company (aktieselskab). It was on 1 February 1947 acquired by Axel Kofoed (born 1897).[2]

Architecture

The complex consists of a main wing towards the street, a side wing, a cross wing and a rear wing. The main wing is seven bays wide. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1939.[3]
