Mikkel Bryggers Gade

Mikkel Bryggers Gade is a pedestrianized street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The street was in the Middle Ages situated just inside the moat and possibly a rampart that surrounded the original settlement of History|Havn.

The name refers to Mikkel Thomsen Brygger who owned a large property at the corner with present-day Frederiksborggade from the 1580s and until at least 1600.

[2] The two narrow alleys Hellig Kors Stræde and Henrick (or Diderik) Fyhrens Gang linked the east side of the street to Kattesundet but were not rebuilt after the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.

[4] In the 1954 drama film Hendes store aften, Helle Virkner is seen throwing some counterfeit money into the sewer.
