Rådhusstræde 7 is a Neoclassical building situated at the corner of Rådhusstræde and Kompagnistræde in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. The building was like most of the other buildings in the street constructed as part of the rebuilding of the city following the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. The scope of the heritage listing was expanded in 1979. Notable former residents include the civil servant and naturalist Carl Gottlob Rafn and professor of philosophy Frederik Christian Sibbern .
The site was formerly made up of three smaller properties. The corner property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 71 in Snaren's Quarter, owned by merchant Christian Meyer. The adjacent property in Rådhusstræde was listed as No. 144, owned by tailor Frederik Knøtel. The next property in Rådhusstræde was listed as No. 145, owned by hatter Claus Scharmer. No. 144 and No. 145 were later merged into a single property. It was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 127 in Snaren's Quarter and belonged to hatter Niels Eegholm at that time. The old No. 71 was listed as No. 128 and belonged to baker Hans Reimer. [1]

Anna Cathrina Zøllner, a widow, resided in the building with her niece Charlotte Chatrine Lund, her nephew Jacob Mathias Sencius Lund and one maid.
