History[]

No. 231 and No. 19 seen on a detail from Christian Gedde's map of Copenhagen's West Quarter, 1757.

The building was constructed as a brewery in 1802–03 for Carl Henrik Ording.[1] Ording was originally a horse trader but had also owned Bakkehuset in Valby from 1777 to 1784.[2] He constructed the inn Slotskroen at the corner of Vesterbrogade and in 1780-82.[3] He had purchased a piece of land in the area between Værnedamsvej, Frederiksberg Allé and Gammel Kongevej in 1783 and constructed the country houses Vennerslyst (Frederiksberg Allé 8, now No. 12-22) and Alléenlyst (later Sankt Thomas) on it the following year. He later sold most of the land off in lots.[4]

Carl Wilhelm Jessen (1764-1823), a naval officer who reached the rank of counter admiral, resided in one of the apartments from 1817 to 1819.[1]

At the time of the 1840 census, No. 150 B was home to four households. M. M. Funch, widow of a justitsråd, resided on the ground floor with a housejeeper (husjomfru) and a maid.[5] Herman Kierulf (1784-1845), a civil servant and publisher, resided on the first floor with his wife Vilhelmine Kjerulff (née Rahnue), two sons (aged 25 and 28) and one maid.[6] Knudsen, a kanvelliråd, resided on the second floor with his wife Cathrine Knudsen (née Lund) and one maid.[7] P. Monstrup, a grocer (høker), resided in the basement with his Maren Monstrup født Bjerring and one lodger.[8]

The building stands in blank, red brick and consists of three stories over a high cellar. The building has four bays on Vandkunsten, a chamfered corner bay and three bays on Gåsegade.[1] A gateway opens to a courtyard that it shares with the rest of the block.

Memorial plaque[]

A memorial plaque and a relief of Frederick III on the corner commemorate the Swedish storm assault on Copenhagen which took place on 10–11 February 1659 at this site.[1]

The same event is commemorated by the names Stormgade and Stormbroen.
