History

[edit]

The building was constructed in 1768 for Akvavit-distiller Christian Rasmussen Lihme. It is believed that the architect was Hans Næss (1723–1795). The actor Adolph Rosenkilde was between 1852 and 1860 one of the residents in the building. He was from 1856 associated with the Royal Danish Theatre on the other side of the square. The composer Peter Heise lived in the building in 1866–67.[1]
