Christians Plejehus

Christians Plejehus, located in Store Kongensgade, Copenhagen, is a historic building that originally served as a military retirement home for war veterans before becoming the Royal Orphanage. Established in the 1760s, it was designed to house up to 300 residents, including children, and featured a linen weaving mill operated by the residents. The complex is notable for its architectural design, including a median risalit and a chapel, and was listed as a protected building in 1918. Today, it has been transformed into a mix of apartments and offices, offering a glimpse into Copenhagen's rich history and architectural heritage.
