History

It was built after his death by his successor Lauritz de Thurah in 1756-1757 for master carpenter Johan Andreas Pfüntzer (ca.1708-ca.1764).
Johan Andrea Pfitzner's property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 71 K1 in St. Ann's East Quarter. On Christian Gedde's map of St. Ann's East Quarter, it is marked as No. 317.

Architecture
[edit]Amaliegade 16 consists of three storeys over a high cellar. The building is seven bays wide and has a three-bay median risalit. The median risalit was originally tipped by a triangular pediment but it was removed in 1867 and replaced by the current three-bay wall dormer in 1895. The median risalit is divided horizontally by a cornice between the first and second floor. It originally ran along the full width of the building. The keystone above the gate features a carved coat of arms.[9]
The roof is a Mansard roof with black tile towards the street while it is clad with winged red tile towards the courtyard. The central three-bay wall dormer is flanked by two smaller dormer windows.
A four-storey, six-bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building.
Today
[edit]Amaliegade 16 was acquired by Jeudan in 2019[10] and contains a combination of residential apartments and office space. Tenants include the law firms Cumberland Advokater and Invictus Advokater and the cosmetics company Tromborg.
