The De Coninck House (Danish: De Conincks Gård) is a historic property located at Store Kongensgade 72 in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It takes its name after Frédéric de Coninck for whom it was built in the 1790s.[1]

History

The property was built in 1797 for the merchant and shipowner Frédéric de Coninck (1740-1811). It is believed that the architect was Joseph-Jacques Ramée (1764-1842). [2] [3]

The building was later acquired by the Barnekow family and the composer Christian Barnekow (1837–1913) lived there around 1880. The painter Otto Bache (1839-1927) lived on the first floor from 1904 to 1921. Royal photographer Leopold Albert (1868–1949) lived in the building in the 1930s. The architect H. P. G. Koch undertook a restoration of the building in 1937. [4][5]

Architecture

The courtyard

The building consists of two floors and a cellar and is eight bays wide. Two side wings project from the rear side of the main wing on each side of a narrow courtyard. The northern side wing is eight bays long plus a two-bay rounded connection where it meets the main wing. The shorter side connects to a three-bay rear wing. The building was listed in 1918.[6]
