Jens Lauritzen House

The Jens Lauritzen House, located at Nytorv 7 in Copenhagen's Old Town, is a stunning example of Neoclassical architecture and serves as the headquarters for the Association of Folk High Schools in Denmark, also known as Højskolernes Hus. Originally part of two properties in the late 17th century, it was rebuilt after the devastating Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The building has a rich history, having housed various notable residents, including merchants and professionals, throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, it stands as a cultural landmark, reflecting the historical evolution of Copenhagen and offering insights into the city's past.
