History
The house was built in 1696 but was later expanded to the west.[1] The building later belonged to Frederick IV, who used it first for his mistress Countess Schindel and later for his morganatic wife Anne Sophie Reventlow.[2]
The building was taken over by the central administration in 1731. It was connected to the Chancerry House in 1781 and also expanded with an extra floor for the Rentekammeret.[3] The building was listed in 1945.
Today
The building currently houses part of the Ministry of Finance.
gollark: Idea: write a Macron "macro" to be the government.
gollark: Exactly. Just reallocate funds to the president and also the osmarks.net foundation™.
gollark: It would only be about a quarter of average government budget under my proposal.
gollark: Have a "president-satisfying tax" of course!
gollark: This is also an incentive to run the economy better, as the only valuable metric for a country is how well the economy happens to be operating at the time, as it is not mostly random noise etc.
