With its low height and a principal facade that does not face Sankt Annæ Plads, it stands out from the other buildings on the square, bearing testament to a time when the city was lower and Frederiksstaden had only just started to develop.
The corner property (still larger than present-day Sankt Annæ Plads 6) was acquired by brewer and customs inspector Søren Sørensen.
On his death in 1709, it passed to his son-in-law, Hans Jørgen Soelberg (1681–1868), a timber merchant from Drammen, Norway, who had recently moved to Copenhagen.
[2] The current building on the site was constructed with two storeys before 1753 for tanner Niels Könsberg.
They resided in Herløw's building after selling the De Coninck House to fellow naval officer Johan Friderich Hedemann (1786–1826) in 1815.
The property was at some point prior to the 1834 census acquired by Friderich Christopher Just Gerhardt Trampe, a naval officer and inspector of the city's Harbour Dredging Authority.
He was at that time residing in the building with his wife Conradine Cecelie (née Haag), their three sons (aged 25 to 29), nephew August Sophus Ferdinand Trampe, niece Lovise Eleonore Sophie Margareth Trampe and two maids.
Anthon Bertrand Thrane, a wine merchant, resided on the ground floor with his wife Wilhelmine Christophine née Knudsen.
[12] Sankt Annæ Plads 6 is a corner building with a five-bay principal facade on Lille Strandstræde and a three-bay gable facing the square.
The slightly projecting three central bays of the facade towards Lille Strandstræde are topped by a triangular pediment with an oculus and festoon decorations.
