History

The building was constructed in 1768 for Akvavit-distiller Christian Rasmussen Lihme. It is believed that the architect was Hans Næss (1723–1795). The actor Adolph Rosenkilde was between 1852 and 1860 one of the residents in the building. He was from 1856 associated with the Royal Danish Theatre on the other side of the square. The composer Peter Heise lived in the building in 1866–67.[1]

The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places on 23 December 1918 but delisted on 20 September 2016.[2]

Architecture

The four-storey building is designed in the Neoclassical style. It is five bays wide and has a three-bay median risalit decorated with a relief depicting Poseidon between the second and third floor.[1]

Today

Restaurant Fiat is based in the ground floor of the building. The IT consultancy Nine occupies the upper floors.
