Garrison Hospital, Copenhagen

It existed from 1818 to 1928 but its 48 bays long Neoclassical building predates it and was Originally a royal textile factory.

A military hospital was first opened at the site from 1673 when it took over the so-called Gold House, an alchemist laboratory.

The textile production moved to Usserød in 1815 and the architect Peder Friis was put in charge of adapting the rest of the complex for use by the hospital.

[3] The main entrances of the complex are located in two slightly projecting, 3-bay sections with triangular pediments.

On the wall between the two sections, between the first and second floors, is a stone plaque which commemorates Frederick VI's conversion of the building into a facility for sick and wounded soldiers.
