Gråbrødretorv 13 is a property situated on the south side of Gråbrødretorv in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. The building is a typical example of the so-called "fire houses" which were constructed as part of the rebuilding of the city following the Copenhagen Fire of 1728, although the fourth floor was not added until 1784. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1932. Restaurant Bøf & Ost has been based in the building since 1972.

History

16th to 18th centuries

No. 122 seen on a detail from Christian Gedde's map of Frimand's Quarter.

In the middle of the 16th century a house was constructed on the site by either Anders Krogemager or Hanns Viingardt. It was from the end of the century owned by Church of the Holy Ghost and used as a residence for the organist at the church. In 1631 the church sold it to university book printer Johan Philip Bockenhofer at No. 15. Some ten days later he sold the property to skipper Niels Lauritzen Kock. The property was in 1689 as No. 132 in Frimand's Quarter again owned by the Church of the Holy Ghost and used as a residence for the organist at the church.

The building was later acquired by bookbinder Hans Møller. His building was together with the church and most of the other buildings in the area destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728. The lot was in January 1730 described as empty. Møller died shortly thereafter. In December 1731, his widow sold the still empty lot at auction. The buyer was brewer Bent Bentsen, owner of the property to the east (now No. 11). Half a year later, he sold the property to mason Hans Povelsen but kept a section of it furthest away from the square. Povelsen did not immediately start the construction of a house on the lot but most likely waited until some time during 1æ. In 1742, Povelsen sold his property to shoemaker Rasmus Sørensen Ørtrip 734. The first description of the building dates from March 1735.

The property was upon Rasmus Sørensen Øtrup's death in 1750 sold to shoemaker Hans Brondelsen Schiller. It was from 1756 known as No. 122 in Frimand's Quarter. Schillerkept the property until 1784. The next owner was school master Lorents Lassen.

19th century

The building was at the time of the 1801 census home to a total of 27 people distributed on six households. Lorentz Lassen, now registered as a candlemaker, resided in the building with his wife Elsabeth Nissen, their four children and a maid. Heinrich Ludvig Steding, a teacher at Petri School on the other side of the square, resided in the building with his wife Margrethe Sophia Nüscke and a lodger. The lodger Ingwer Paul Mathiesen worked as a volunteer in Rentekammeret. Christian Bugge, a master book binder, resided in the building with his wife Ane Margrethe Schmidt, his employee Carl Gustav Kølle and a maid. Johan Georg Lappe, another master bookbinder, resided in the building with his wife Ane Christine Holst and an employee. The fifth household consisted of master tailor Johannes Hagedorn, his wife Maria Mohnsen and their nine-year-old son Johannes. The last household consisted of the carpenter Engelbrect Halvorsen and his wife Anne Cathrine Berends, the 45-year-old widow Karen Larsen with her two children and a maid.

The property was in the new cadastre of 1806 listed as No. 105. It was by then owned by candlemaker Lorentz Lassen.

The number of residents had by 1840 increased to 49. Most of them were still craftsmen, especially shoemakers and tailors. It was at the time of the 1845 census home to a total of 51 people.

The building was in the late 1960s deemed in danger of collapsing and therefore provided with deep foundation support. Remains from the old Franciscan Friary FROM WHICH THE SQUARE TAKES ITS NAME was in this connection retrieved by the Museum of Copenhagen. The ground floor and basement was at the same time by Peter Tholstrup with the assistance of architect Hans Henrik Olrik adapted for use as a restaurant. Tholstrup opened Restaurant Bøg & Ost in the building in 1972. In 1985, he also opened Restaurant Peder Oxe in the building next door at No. 11.
