Ved Stranden 12

Ved Stranden 12 is a historic townhouse situated in central Copenhagen, Denmark, directly across from Christiansborg Palace. This protected building, listed since 1932, has a rich history dating back to the 17th century when it was part of a larger property. The current structure was built in 1796 after the original was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. Over the years, it has housed various residents, including a barber shop operated by Dine Beate Solle in the late 18th century. The architecture features a pale orange facade with decorative elements, and the building has served as a commercial space for a stockbroking firm in the 20th century. Today, it remains a notable landmark for visitors interested in Copenhagen's architectural and cultural heritage.
