Bredgade 63–65

Bredgade 63–65 are two identical Renaissance Revival style properties situated on Bredgade, adjacent to the small garden complex in front of Østre Landsret, in the Frederiksstaden of central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The building was later taken over by the Poor Authority's boys' school on Sankt Annæ Plads.

The painter Carl Locher lived in an apartment on the fourth floor in the rear wing of No.

The painter August Tørsleff lived on the third floor of the rear wing in the years around 1908.

[1] Commercial tenants have included the Danish subsidiary of SKF and a Peugeot car dealer, both of which were located in the ground floor of No.

Each of the two identical properties consists of four wings, eight bays wide towards the street, surrounding a central courtyard.

The buildings are constructed in red brick with a wealth of decorative elements in sandstone or concrete.

The windows on the first to third floors are flanked by engaged columns carrying richly decorated lintels.

A gateway in the two central bays of both buildings provide access to the two courtyards.

[1] In January 2003, Jeudan acquired Bredgade 63–65 from Nordea Ejendomme as part of a larger portfolio of properties in central Copenhagen.
