Studiestræde is a street in central Copenhagen, Denmark, running from Bispetorv on Nørregade in the northeast to Axeltorv in the southwest.
The oldest section of the street, between Nørregade and Vester Voldgade, is part of Copenhagen's Latin Quarter and is home to many small shops, galleries and cafés.
In 1479, a new city hall was completed on nearby Gammeltorv and the old building was taken over by the University of Copenhagen which was founded the same year by King Christian I with the approval of Pope Sixtus IV.
Den Frie Udstilling's exhibition building was dismantled and rebuilt at its current location next to Østerport station in 1913 when the construction of the railway began.
[2] Most of the other buildings along the first section of the street (until Vester Voldgade) dates from the years after the Copenhagen Fire of 1795 and many of them are listed.
Studenterforeningen's building on the corner of H. C. Andersens Voulevard was built in 1910 to a National Romantic design by Ulrik Plesner.
