It runs along the south side of Church of Our Lady, linking Nørregade in the west with Fiolstræde in the east.

The house was later owned by Abraham Lahn but demolished in 1699 to make way for an expansion of Church of Our Lady's graveyard.

It was designed by Christian Frederik Hansen who was also in charge of the rebuilding of Church of Our Lady as well as Metropolitan School on the other side of Fiolstræde.

The building has since 1974 served as a dormitory for students at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under the name Kunstnerkollegiet.

At the beginning of the street stands a bronze cast of Jean Arp's non-figurative sculpture Cupulate Fruit from 1960.
