Kompagnistræde 12

Kompagnistræde 12 is a historic Neoclassical property located in the heart of Copenhagen's Old Town, specifically on the bustling shopping street Strædet. Constructed between 1797 and 1798 after the devastating Copenhagen Fire of 1795, this building showcases the architectural style of the era and has been listed as a protected site since 1964. The property has a rich history, originally part of a larger estate in the 17th century and later transformed into a charity housing for Jewish families in the 19th century. Today, it is home to C. E. Fritzsche, a renowned glass shop with a legacy dating back to 1788, making it a fascinating stop for tourists and researchers interested in Copenhagen's architectural and cultural heritage.
