Huset KBH

Huset KBH is a cultural centre located at Rådhusstræde 13 in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The company bought the two adjacent properties at Magstræde 12 and 14 in 1903 and a new warehouse was at the same time constructed at the site.

Jens Henrik Petersen, Sthyr & Kjær's warehouse manager, resided in the garret with his wife Eleonora Benthine Mathilde Petersen, their four children (aged 11 to 22) and the 18-year-old warehouse worker Carl Ferdinand Nielsen.

[4] The building at Rådhusstræde 13 was originally a two-storey townhouse with a four-bay wall dormer.

The facade was adapted in the Neoclassical style with inspiration from Karl Friedrich Schinkel's architecture.
