Strandgade 30 is one of the oldest townhouses situated on Strandgade in the Christianshavn district of central Copenhagen, Denmark. The three-winged building from 1635 is via an adjoining lower building from the 20th century and a three-storey warehouse connected to a two-storey building at Wildersgade 43 on the other side of the block. The property was from 1680 until at least the 1860s owned by brewers whose brewery was located in the yard. The painter Wilhelm Hammershøi resided in the apartment on the first floor from 1899 to 1909. Some 60 of the 142 paintings from this period of his life, including some of his most iconic works, are interior paintings from the apartment. Other notable former residents include the ship-owner, merchant and slave trader Jens Lind. A doorway in a brick wall connects the narrow, central courtyard to that of Strandgade 28. Strandgade 30 and Strandgade 28 were owned by the same owners from 1910. They were jointly listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. The building at Wildersgade 43 and the adjacent warehouse in the courtyard are also part of the heritage listing.

Strandgade 30 and Strandgade 32 were originally part of the same property. Its first owner was mayor of Christianshavn Mikkel Vive, who died before the building at what is now Strandgade 30 had been completed. The building fronting the street was constructed in 1635.

The painter Vilhelm Hammershøi was the tenant of the first floor apartment from 1898 to 1909. He lived there with his wife Ida. He had no studio but painted some of his best paintings in their home. [21]

The property had gradually fallen into a severe state of disrepair. In 1810, it was acquired by the owner of No. 28, a haulier named Mortensen. He put it through a comprehensive renovation. The two properties were formally merged into a single property. The property was later owned by the businessman (grosserer) Henry L. W. Jensen. In 1943-45, he had Strandgade restored under supervision of the architect Harald Hauberg. [1]

Architecture

Strandgade 30

Strandgade 30 is a three-winged complex consisting of a six bays wide and two storeys tall front wing and two side wings of approximately the same length on the rear. The facade of the front wing is constructed in brick with bands of lime stone. It features a row of wall anchors between the windows of the two floors. The facade was originally crowned by a Dutch gable but it was removed around 1810. The central gateway replaced the original doorway in 1710. The keystone features the inscription "N S S – M S D", the initials of the owner Niels Sørensen and his wife. Above the gateway is an oval window. The pitched red tile roof is pierced by a tall chimney at the southwestern gable. The gateway has walls with timber framing and undressed brick infills and a ceiling of exposed timber. [1]

Hammershøi painted some 60 interior paintings from the apartment, including some of his most known works. [22] These include Ida Reading a Letter (1899), Sunbeams (190) and Interior with Young Woman Seen from the Back (1903–04). His paintings from the apartment were showcased by the Ordrupgaard Art Museum in the exhibition Hjemme hos Hammershøi.
