Frederiksholms Kanal 16–18

285 in the city's West Quarter, owned by customs inspector (toldforvalter) Laurids Eskildsen.

The property was shortly thereafter sold to Christian Siegfred von Plessen (1646-1723).

The property was after his death passed on to his son Ludvig von Plessen.

On 14 June 1779, the mansion was sold to merchant supercargo in the Danish Asiatic Company Søren Lyche.

The property was at some point acquired by the businessman Caspar Peter Bügel.

The next owner, Jens Lund, another merchant, constructed a couple of warehouses around the corner in Ny Vestergade.

Jean Baptist Oluf Gamél (1812–1886), a chef who acted as club host, resided on the first floor of the building at the time of the 1840 census.

He lived there with his wife Andrine Cassine Gamel (née Stockfleth), their two children (aged one and two), two male servants and three maids.

He had recently retired from his position as head chef for king Christian VIII.

Cassabadan charged the architect Harald Conrad Stilling with transforming it into two separate apartment buildings in 1851–1852.

The publisher and Venstre politician Christen Berg (1829–1891) lived in the ground floor of No.

The two daughters Gerda and Ellen Christensen lived in the apartment until 1963 and left it with all its furnishings to the National Museum of Denmark.

[7] The interior of the two gateways are decorated with a copy of Bertel Thorvaldsen's Alexander frieze.

The 35-metre-long and one-metre-tall relief frieze was originally commissioned for the papal Palazzo del Quirinale in 1912 in connection with Napoleon's planned visit to the city.

The decorations include imitated marble panels and sandstone pilasters and painted ornaments.

The Christensen family's 15-room apartment, now known as the Victorian Home (Danish: Klunkehjemmet), can only be visited on guided tours.
