The property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 12 in St. Ann's East Quarter (Sankt Annæ Øster Kvarter), owned by skipper Jørgen Olsen. The present building on the site was constructed for him some time around 1684. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 17 in St. Ann's East Quarter. It belonged to skibsmåler Rasmus Hansen at that time.

Rasmus Christensen Kock

The property was later acquired by Rasmus Christensen Kock (Koch). In 1764, he acquired citizenship as a manufacturer of ship sails, flags and compasses. He heightened the building with one floor in 1767. At the time of the 1787 census, He lived in the building with his wife Birthe Maria Wogstrup, a 26-year-old son and a 20-year-old daughter from the wife first marriage, the daughter's three children (aged nine to 11) and his own two sisters.

Architecture

Above the main entrance is a wall stone featuring the name "R. Koch", a compass rose, a Dannebrog and two sand clocks. The sign dates from Tasmus Kock's ownership of the building in the 1760s. The framing with angel heads is, however, belived to be around one hundred years older than that. The historian Peter Lind has suggested that the relief is a former epitaph from one of Copenhagen's churches which was adapted for its new use by a stonemason. [9] Two side wings from 1784 project from the rear side of the building.

Today

NyhavnC is now based in the building. It consists of a restaurant, a café and a bar. [19]
