Alderstrøst

Alderstrøst refers to two residential complexes built by Association of Craftsmen in Copenhagen to provide affordable housing for elderly, indigent members and their widows in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark.

[2] A new, 15,848 square alen (5,708 m2) site was acquired on the corner of Møllegade and Nørre Allé in 1892.

The side on Nørre Allé flanked Bræstrups Stiftelse, another charitable housing complex.

The complex consisted of a main wing on Møllegade, both of which in five storeys, and twofour-storey buildings on Nørre Allé.

The competition was won by Henning Hansen but the complex was instead given the name Håndværkerhaven (The Craftsman Garden).

The complex on Nørre Allé was refurbished for DKK 22+ millions between 2003 and 2008 by AI-gruppen A/S and MT Højgaard.
