Galleri K

Galleri K, formerly known as Crome & Goldschmidt and later as Cityarkaden, is a shopping arcade situated on Strøget in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

He had worked as a ship's surgeon for the Danish Asiatic Company before settling as a merchant in Copenhagen.

In 1843 (lease signed 11 November 1842), Adressekontoret relocated to significantly larger premises at Vimmelskaftet No.

[1] On Christmas Eve 1857, Vildmanden was hit by a fire in the side wing along Kristen Bernikovsgade.

Vildmanden was subsequently passed to his two sons, music teacher Komponist Johan August Bindr and master joiner Christian Valdemar Bindsei.

They constructed a new building known as Volmerhus at the site in connection with a widening of Kristen Bernikows Gade.

[2] Crome & Goldschmidt remained a tenant in the building and installed Denmark's first escalators in it in 1927.

In 2004, a joint-venture between the Danish property developer Keops and the American AIG purchased the building.

[3] In January 2020, Galleri K was acquired by UK-based Aviva and Canada-based PSP through Capital Investment.

[4] Galleri K contains about 30 shops and has a total area of about 10,000 square metres over two floors as well as underground parking.

A covered atrium and arcade connects Kristen Bernikows Gade to Pilestræde where the architects created a small space with a café.
