Notable buildings
No. 3: The Zinn House

No. 1 was built in 1884-1886 with cellar og three storeys for J. P. von Osten. It was later used as headquarters for Em. Z. Svitzers Bjergningsenterprise.[4]

The Zinn House (No. 3) is from 1751 and was owned by members of the wealthy Zinn family for more than 150 years.[5] No. 5 is from 1736 and was built for royal cellar master Ph. Jacob Zalathe and later heightened by two storeys in 1845.[6] Danish Documentary Production is based in the building. No. 3 and No. 5 are both listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places.

The former Kvæsthus Building (No. 7-11) is now home to the Danish Nurses' Organization. The building was adapted for DFDS in 1872.
