History[edit]

Site history, 1689–1799[edit]

In the late 17th century, the site was part of a large property owned by Conrad von Reventlow (1644–1708). This property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 44 in Købmager Quarter. After Reventlow's death in 1708, the property was passed to his son Christian Detlev Reventlow (1671–1738). The buildings were destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728 but subsequently rebuilt.[1]

On Christian Ditlev Reventlow's death, the property passed to his son Christian Ditlev Reventlow. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 11 in Købmager Quarter. It was referred to as Reventlow's Hotel at that time. A large four-winged building complex surrounding a central courtyard occupied the half of the property that faced the more prominent street Købmagergade. The half of the property that faced the quieter street Pilestræde was the site of a large garden complex. A row of small properties separated the property from Klareboderne in the northwest.[2]

Johan Peter Boye Junge

In 1783 the property was acquired by the master builder Johan Peter Boye Junge (1735–1807), who was shortly thereafter granted royal permission to establish the new street Kronprinsensgade on the land.[3] Boye Junge was one of the largest private employers in Copenhagen of his time.[4]

The row of new buildings on Pilestræde and some of the ones in Krpinprinsensgade were constructed by Boye Junge. The other properties, including the one now known as Købmagergade 38, were sold to others.

Early history[edit]

The present building on the site was constructed in 1799. In the new cadastre of 1806, the property was listed as No. 9 in Købmager Quarter. It was at that time still owned by Knud Erneberg.[2]
