Ny Kongensgade 5

Ny Kongensgade 5 is an 18th-century property located in the small Frederiksholm Neighborhood of central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The building shares a small courtyard with Ny Kongensgade 7.

It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1950.

[1] The present building on the site was built as a distiller's house before 1732.

The area escaped the devastating Copenhagen Fire of 1728 and the building may therefore predate this year.

[5] Poul Madsen, a smith (beslagsmed), resided on the first floor with his wife Anna Kirstine Madsen født Jørgensen, his brother-in-law Kristen Jørgensen Kathave, a five-year-old foster child and three lodgers.

It consists of two storeys over a cellar and is finished by a mansard roof with a three-bay wall dormer.
