Løwe House

The Løwe House (Danish: Løwes Gård) is an 18th-century townhouse located at Bredgade 76 in the Frederiksstaden neighborhood of central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The present building on the site was constructed in 1754–1757 for customs appraiser Christian Frederik Løwe.

At the 1787 census, Søbøtker resided in the building with the unmarried woman Ane Marie Phillippine von Dumrecker, husjomfru Sophie Magdalene Winterberg, cooper (bødkersvend) Hans Piilegaard, a caretaker, a housekeeper, a gardener and the gardener's wife and 32-year-old daughter.

She was the widow of etatsråd Enevold Berregaard Lugge (1718–1788) and the daughter of commander-captain Johan Christopher Holst (1705–1862).

[4] Peter Frederik Wulff (1774–1842) was appointed head of the Royal Danish Naval Academy at the same time.

[8] Niels Olsen, inspector at the Admiralty, resided in the building with his wife Marie Lund and their two children (aged six and 16).
