The Jennow House is a historic property located at Strandgade 12 in the Christianshavn neighbourhood of Copenhagen, Denmark. It takes its current name after Andreas Jennow, a businessman who owned it from 1949 to 1978. His company Andreas Jennow A/S was based in the building until 1988.
The property was part of a large lot at present-day No. 8–14, which had still not been developed in 1635. It is believed that brewer Jacob Byssing constructed a building at the site prior to his acquisition of the entire corner lot at No. 12–14 between 1689 and 1692. The property was listed as No. 15 in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689. It was at that time owned by brewer Anders Svendsen. The site now known as Strandgade 12 was sold off in 1702.
The property was acquired by Lars (Laurids) Madsen (c. 1720–1781) in 1854. He was licensed as a skipper in 1845 and later settled in Copenhagen as a ship-owner and merchant. He completed a total of 77 voyages to the Danish West Indies from 1763 to 1781. He was married to Anne Cathrine Bertelsdatter. She died in 1755, after having given birth to their son Bertel and their daughters Anne Marie and Ingeborg. Lars Nadseb was shortly thereafter married to a widow, Mette Munck. The couple lived at her property at Torvegade 24 and the house on Strandgade was therefore sold in 1756. Bertel Madsen followed in his father's footsteps. He later purchased the property at Strandgade 4.
The property was home to 20 residents in three households at the time of the 1787 census. Urban Floer, a ship captain, resided in the building with his wife Lovise Floer, their three children (aged two to six) and one maid. [1] Carsten Carstensen, a bookkeeper, resided in the building with his wife Scharlotte Carstensen, their two-year-old son and one maid.
