Architecture

Nyhavn 3

Nyhavn 3 was originally constructed with two storeys over a walk-out basement before 1731. The building was then eight bays wide and the facade was crowned by a two-bay gabled wall dormer. The ground floor was constructed in brick while the upper part was constructed with timber framing. The building was heightened with one storey tipped by a triangular pediment in 1776. The triangular pediment disappeared when the facade was reconstructed as a five-bay brick facade 1852. The ground floor of the yardside was also reconstructed in brick while the timber framing on its upper part has survibed. The facade of the building is plastered and painted in a dark red colour, contrasted by white-painted bands above the basement and first floor, a white-painted cornice and white painted window frames. The åitched red tile roof is taller towards the yard as a result of the extra floor towards the street. It features two dormer windows the street and a large factory dormer and two normal dormer windows towards the yard. The shop interior in the basement dates from 1819. A small appendix with a staircase projecting of the yardside of the building was probably constructed some time between 1776 and 1801. [29]

Today

The building is owned by Nyhavn 43 A/S. It contains a restaurant on the ground floor and offices on the upper floors.
