Admiralgade is a street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Nikolaj Plads in the north to Holmens Kanal in the south.
Admiralgade was created in the middle of the 16th century and was home to several residences for naval officers. Admiralgården, the Admiral's official residence, was built at the southern corner of Admiralgade with Dybensgade in 1565. Peder Munk was the last admiral to reside in the building. From 1596, the building was used for the storage of body armors, but the name Admiralgade is seen in documents from 1653 and 1668. [1]

[4] The theatre Boldhus Teatret is based in No. 26. It opened in a former paper storage in 1965 and has an ambition to be "smallest, bravest and strangest". [5]
