History

17th and 18th centuries

The property belonged to grocer (urtekræmmer) Dirich Strube in the 1650s. On 11 July 1653, he mortgaged it to Ewert Funch (owner of Gammel Strand 40). Strube was later qualified as a pharmacist. On 16 March 1674, the property was sold to furier Peter Røbstrup. His widow was later married to court furier Rudolf Boldevin. His property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 12 in Strand Quarter. On 17 June 1693, Boldevin sold the property to royal surgeon Henrich von Soesten. On 3 July 1699, it was by his widow Margrete sold to renteskriver Liebhart Vieth. His widow Anna Margrete Junge owned it until at leeast 1728. [1]

In early 1764, N0. 12 was acquired for 7,300 Danish rigsdaler by Johanne Marie Swane (née Harboe). She acted on behalf of her husband, DAC captain Lars Swane, who was in Canton and without any knowledge of her disposition. The couple had recently moved to an apartment at Store Kongensgade No. 44 (now Store Kongensgade 46) after selling their house at Nyhavn 29. [3] In June 1767, Swane bought a parcel of land in Ordrup north of the city. A country house was not built on the land until 1771. In the meantime, Swane had completed his fifth expedition to Canton. In 1772–73, Swane also undertook a comprehensive renovation of his Gammel Strand property. The house was divided into a separate apartment on each of the three upper floors. The side wing was heightened from two to three floors and a new three-storey rear wing was also constructed. The pulley was removed from the front wing's gabled wall dormer. The property was home to four households in 1778. A beer seller resided in the basement. A merchant resided on the ground floor. Swane and a wholesale merchant Galck occupied the two large apartments on the rwo upper floors. [3]

Lars Swane died on 5 March 1781 at Ordrup. Johanne Marie Swane lost her youngest son Emmanuel in 1783. He died just 17 years old as a cadet on board the naval ship Indfødsretten. The daughter Catharina died in labour the following year. The youngest daughter Karen Francisca died just 21 years old in 1784. In 1793, Johanne Marie Swane sold her properties in Copenhagen and Ordrup, bought Torkilstrup Church on Lolland, and settled with her daughter and son-in-law Søren Svendsen Ingemann in Torkilstrup Rectory. [3]

Agent Hans Holck (1726–1783), who created the first city directory for Copenhagen, was among the residents in around 1782. [4]
