Schäffer House

The Schäffer House, an 18th-century bourgeois townhouse located in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark, is a remarkable example of Rococo architecture. Built in 1733-34 for court joiner Diderich Schäffer, the house features elegant interior decorations that are now showcased at the National Museum. The property has a rich history, having survived the devastating Copenhagen Fire of 1728 and changed hands among notable figures, including porcelain importer Johan Gierløf. Visitors can admire its unique architectural details, including a long courtyard and timber-framed wings, making it a fascinating stop for tourists and researchers interested in Danish history and architecture.
