History

Early history

The site was originally part of Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve's large property at the corner of Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn. In Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 it was listed as No. 54 in St. Ann's East Quarter. [1] The property was later ceded to dowager queen Charlotte Amalie. A narrow strip of land along the canal, from Charlottenborg to Møntgade (now part of Holbergsgade), was used for the construction of a row of very small, identical houses for low-ranking officials at the dowager queen's court. The houses were given numbers from 3 to 21. [2]

House No. 5 (now Nyhavn 6) was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 277 in St. Ann's East Quarter. [1]

Jacob Christensen and the new building

In 1770, it was decided to sell the houses at auction. The aim was to have them replaced by taller buildings that matched the houses on the other side of the canal and were more suitable for a location next to Kongens Nytorv.

Already before the auction took place, by royal deed of 7 January 1771 (registered 21 May), No. 277 (aka House No. 5) was sold for 292 rigsdaler and 48 skilling to distiller Jacob Christensen. The present building on the site was constructed for him in 1774–76. [2]

Jacob Christensen was the father of bookseller, writer and publisher Kristen Kristensen (née Christensen Christensen, 1777–1849). He is best known for publishing the popular weekly magazine Politibennen (1816–1842). [3]

1800–1880

The naval officer and painter Emil Normann resided in one of the apartments in the building in the mid-1830s. He had just returned to Copenhagen after being stationed at Christiansø. He had now been transferred to service on the guardship Møn in Øresund. Normann was a student of C. W. Rckersberg. in 1834, he and Rckersberg sailed around Zealand on the maiden voyage of the "Dronning Marie". Normann and his family left Nyhavn No. 273 in January 1838 after being appointed as enrolment officer in Tönning, Schleswig. [4]
