Sankt Annæ Plads 5 is a Neoclassical property constructed in 1796 by city builder Jørgen Henrich Rawert for his own use on the north side of Sankt Annæ Plads in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
He suffered from economic difficulties and in 1794 sold off a portion of the garden to city builder Jørgen Henrich Rawert.
The new building on the property was constructed by Rawert in 1796 with the intention of keeping it as his personal residence.
[1] He was residing at Sankt Annæ Plads 10 on the other side of the square while the construction took place.
[3] Engelke Colbiørnsen's brother-in-law, Charles Borre, Baron de Selby (1890–1849), whose wife Christiane (née Falbe, 1786–1843) had died in 1843, was by 1845 residing with three unmarried daughters in the apartment on the first floor.
It was subsequently with the assistance of the architects Alfred Skjøt-Petersen (1897–1979) and Curt von Lüttichau (1897–1991) adapted for its new use as company headquarters.
