Kronprinsessegade 6 is a Neoclassical property overlooking Rosenborg Castle Garden in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

History[]

Kronprinsessegade 6 was built in 1803-1804 by master builder Johan Martin Quist.[1]

C. Olufsen (1764-1827), professor of agriculture, lived in the building in 1811–12. N. Clausen (1793-1877) lived in the building from its completion in 1840–41. The physician Knud Faber (1862-1956) lived in the ground floor from 1846 until his death ten years later.

In the 1920s, Kronprinsessegade 6 housed the embassy of the Soviet Union. Knud Erichsen, a wholesale company in the sugar industry, was in 1950 based in the building.[2]

Architecture[]

Quist's original building consisted of three storeys over a high cellar. The fourth storey was not added until 1896. The gate opens to a small courtyard. A three-storey side wing extends from the rear side of the building along the northside of the courtyard to a three-storey cross wing with gateway that opens to another courtyard. The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.

Today[]

Today a part of the building is used as offices for the film company Citizen Dane, that have furnished and decorated the rooms in a consistent old style..

Citizen Dane is a market leader in Denmark within corporate movies.
