Pressens Hus

The old part of the building was built for Emil Hjort (1843–1924) as a new home for his trading house, S. Seidelin, which had outgrown its premises on Amagertorv.

[2] It was demolished and replaced by a modern infill built from 1974 to 1976 to a design by Erik Korshagen [da].

A number of artifacts were in connection with the work retrieved from the site, in an old well which had been covered in 1868, including porcelain from the East Indies, glass with Frederick V's coat of arms, long Dutch clay pibes and a pocket watch in a case of turtle shell.

It is a concrete structure covered with a glazed curtain wall which is slanted on the rear side.

The dark-painted steel frames of the glass panels are asymmetrically placed, creating a composition remniscient of Piet Mondrian's paintings.
