Store Kannikestræde 8 is a historic building in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.
History[]
The building is one of three two-storey buildings which were built at No. 6-10 for studiosus Sebastian Lier in the 1730s. The roof featured a five-bay wall dormer. It was heightened with an extra floor in the 1790s.[1] A side wing was constructed for the owner Jens Olrog at some point after 1757.
Rasmus Nyerup, secretary at the Royal Danish Library, was a resident in the building from 1797 to 1799. The illustrator P. C. Klæstrup (1820-1882) lived in the building around 1861.[1]
The newly established congregation at Trinitatis Church purchased the building in 1893. It was subsequently used as a hub for social work in the parish. The work was organized by parish priest G. Schepelern. A daycare opened in the rear wing in 1936.[2]
Architecture[]
The building consists of three storeys over a high cellar and is seven bays wide. The gateway features a fanlight. A lantern is mounted on the wall to the right of the gateway.[3]
