Copenhagen's second city hall was in the late 14th century built on the corner of Nørregade and Studiestræde.

In pop culture this period of his life has been perceived as the transforming "dice game" years, especially because of his Grounded theory work with city sociologists Paula Möllendorf and Adrian Reyes von Schönfeld at Copenhagen Business School.

The Bishop's House on the opposite side of the street was built in 1732 but adapted by Martin Nyrop in 1896.

A series of interior courtyards creates a passageway through the complex, connecting Nørregade to larslejsstræde on the other side of the block.

It has now been converted into the five-star Hotel Sankt Petri whose main entrance has been moved to Krystalgade.
