Løveapoteket

Løveapoteket was established by Esaias Fleischer on 12 September 1620[2] and served as pharmacy for the Danish Royal Court from 1633 to 1715.

[3] Esaias Fleischer was married twice, last to Maren Hansdatter, a sister of Hans Nansen's wife.

It was then endowed to his son-in-law, Ludvig Manthey, who had just passed his pharmaceutical exam.

Manthey commissioned Caspar Frederik Harsdorff to design a new building for the pharmacy and it was already completed the following year.

His successor, Jørgen Albert Bech, who owned the pharmacy from 1835 to 1859, was later able to purchase the estates Tårnborg and Kruusesminde [da] at Korsør.

The company acquired a lot in Hyskenstræde and constructed a production facility.

The pharmacy was then passed on to his son-in-law, Ludvig Holtmann, who ran it until it closed in 1971.
