Georg David Anthon

[2] In 1751, he became a royal building inspector (kongelig bygningsinspektør), For a short period after Nicolai Eigtved's death in 1754, Anthon led the account-taking work on Frederik's Church (Marmorkirken).

He was controversial and proposed tearing down the spires of both the Stock Exchange ([Børsen) which dated from 1640 and the Main Tower of Rosenborg Castle dating from 1624 and replacing them with dome structures.

The architect Caspar Frederik Harsdorff (1735–1799), intervened and stopped the plan.

Anthon also built the stables at both Frederiksberg Palace and Nakkehoved Lighthouse and also redesigned Bregentved Estate.
