History

The house was built by court architect Caspar Frederik Harsdorff for his own use in 1782. He ran into financial troubles shortly thereafter and had to sell the property.[1]

Christian Wulff, a navel officer and friend of the writer Hans Christian Andersen, lived in the building for a few years in the 1840s. Wulf knew Andersen through his parents, P. E. Wulff (1774-1842) and Henriette Wulf. Andersen stayed with him at Amaliegade 37 (then No. 141) for almost two months in 1848. He arrived on 27 June and left for Glorup Manor on 24 August before renting three rooms at Nyhavn 67 on his return to Copenhagen.[2]

The politician Jacob Brønnum Scavenius Estrup lived in the apartment on the first floor from 1807 to 1810. He died at Kongsdal in 1912.

Architecture

The building consists of three storeys over a high cellar and has a Mansard roof with red tile. The building is five bays wide. The wider, slightly recessed gateway wing dates from an extension in 1921. A narrow side wing extends from the rear side of the building.

Today

The law firm Skau Reipurth & Partnere has been based in the building since 1 April 2014.[3]
