Klostergården, Copenhagen

47, owned by tailor Christen Simonsen- The property on Amagertorv was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No.

Det Petersenske Jomfrukloster, a Lutheran house of secular canonesses for the use of unmarried noblewomen, was founded in 1758 in accordance with a will dated 30 December 1755 by silk and textile merchant Albrecht Petersen and his brother Sebastian Petersen.

[3] Klostergården is part of a large block which is bounded by Højbro Plads to the east and Hyskenstræde to the west.

A frieze with lettering between the first and second floor reads Monumentum Pietatis Petersenianae ("Memorial to the piousness of Petersen").

A gate to the right of the main entrance opens to a passageway, Klostergangen, which continues through three small courtyards before reaching Læderstræde on the other side of the block.
