History

18th century

No. 65 and No. 66 seen on a detail from Christian Gedde's map of Strand Quarter, 1756.

The site was formerly made up of two separate properties in the relatively narrow street Højbrostræde. The northern of these properties was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 64 in Strand Quarter and belonged to sugar-baker Henrik Schrøder. The southern property was listed as No. 65 and belonged to hofstafferer Bernt Tham. The old No. 64 was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 65 and belonged to wine retailor (vintapper) Frederik Daniel de Piloi. The old No. 65 was listed as No. 66 and belonged to merchant (kræmmer) Lars Lerche.

The property No. 65 was owned by hatter Johan Christ.Viertel at the time of the 1787 census. He resided on his property with his wife Maria Magdalena Jacobine Viertel, their three children (aged eight to 16), his mother-in-law Johanna Rachel Douilhac, two maids, a boy, a caretaker and two lodgers.

Henrichsen and the new building

Niels Schønberg Kurtzhals

The two properties were both destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, together with most of the other buildings in the area. After the fire, it was decided to replace the densely built-up block on the other side of Højbrostræde with a new square, Højbro Plads, which would act as a fire belt, a decision that gave the two properties a much more visible location. They were subsequently merged into a single property, The present building on the site was constructed by master builder Niels Schønberg Kurtzhals for textile merchant Lorentz Andreas Hinrichsen in 1804–]06.

The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 52 in Strand Quarter. It was still owned by merchant Andreas L. Henriksen at that time.

Henrichsen was married to Marie Christine Wolff (1776-1830) and they had five children, two sons and three daughters, by the time that the building was completed. They later had three more children of which one, a daughter, died as an infant. Lorentz Andreas Hinrichsen died in 1824.
