Det Harboeske Enkefruekloster

Det Harboeske Enkefruekloster, or Harboe's Refuge for Widowed Ladies, is a stunning Late Baroque building located on Stormgade in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded by Christine Harboe in the 18th century, this charity was established to provide a home for widowed ladies of the upper classes. The building has a rich history, originally designed by court architect Lambert van Haven and later expanded by notable architects including Elias David Häusser and Lauritz de Thurah. It was officially listed as a protected building in 1918 and underwent significant renovations in the early 2000s, making it a fascinating site for tourists and researchers interested in Danish architectural history and social welfare initiatives.
