The properties now known as Nyhavn 41 – 47 were formerly part of the same property. This property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1578 as No. 28 in St. Ann's East Quarter, owned by tanner Villum Lydersen. In c. 1730, it was divided into four smaller properties. Toldbodgade was also continued southwards from Sankt Annæ Plads to Nyhavn across the land. [1] The property now known as Nyhavn 43 belonged in 1731 to one Anders Møller.

The property was at some point acquired by brewer Poul Christensen Hvidsten (Widsten, 1712–1791). His property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 22 in St. Ann's East Quarter. The present building on the site was built for him some time before 1788.

Hvidsten's property was home to three households at the 1787 census. The owner resided in the building with his wife Gunnild Cecilie Hvidsteen (née Dybe), their three-year-old son Lars Christian, two brewery workers (one of them an apprentice), a caretaker, a coachman and two maids. [2] The property was also home to two other households.

[3] Ole Bonsøe, a beer seller (øltapper) resided in the building with his wife Helwig Sophie Lars Datter, their two children (aged four and seven) and a maid. [4]

After her husband's death, Gunnild Cecilie Hvidsteen married the scholar Grímur Jónsson Thorkelin in 1792.

Architecture

The building consists of three storeys over a high cellar and is six bays wide. The building has a black-glazed tile roof with three dormers. A small balcony is located in front of the central dormer. Under the roof runs a cornice supported by brackets. The gateway is flanked by two cannon barrels to protect the corners from carriage wheels. [20] A projecting keystone is seen over the gate.

Two former warehouses and a rear wing with stables are located in the courtyard. [21]
