Sølvgade 20–22 are two Neoclassical apartment buildings situated opposite Rosenborg Castle Garden in central Copenhagen, Denmark, constructed by master builder Thomas Blom between 1826 and 1831.
They were individually listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1977. Notable former residents of Sølvgade 20 include the military officer J.H.
Mansa [da] (1797-1885), politician Niels Møller Spandet [da], naval officer Carl van Dockum, army officer Olaf Rye, archaeologist Jens Jacob Asmussen Worsaae, journalist Gustav Esmann, historian and politician Niels Neergaard and actress Karen Lykkehus.
In 1788, it came into the possession of Københavns Overformynderi and was the same day ceded to controller at the Danish West India Company Peter Schmidt.
A rotunda for exhibition of panoramic paintings was subsequently constructed on the site of the former shooting range, probably in timber to Kirkerup's own design.
It was created by printmaker and stage painter Heinrich August Grosch (1763-1843) with public funding and depicted the 1801 naval battle of Copenhagen.
He was familiar with the area since he had already built up the two corners of nearby Kronprinsessegade and Dronningens Tværgade with residential buildings in the 1800s and 1810s.
In the meantime, he had worked on the reconstruction of Christiansborg Palace and Church of Our Ladym both of them to designs by Christian Frederik Hansen, following their fires in 1794 and 1807.
Carl van Dockum, a naval officer, resided in the building before moving to the Danish West Indies in 1839.
Olaf Rye, an army officer, then with rank of lieutenant-colonel, was a resident of the building in 1843–44, just five years before he was killed in the Battle of Fredericia.
Jens Jacob Asmussen Worsaae, an archaeologist and the second director of the National Museum of Denmark, resided in the building in 1858–1859.
The eight-bays-long plastered facade is finished with shadow joints on the ground floor and the exposed part of the basement.
The first-floor windows are accented with robust framing and the two outer ones also with hood moulds supported by fluted corbels.
It has no shadow joints on the ground floor and exposed part of the basement and the details around the first-floor windows are also lacking.
