Sværtegade 1

Sværtegade 1, located at the corner of Pilestræde and Sværtegade in Copenhagen's Old Town, is a heritage-listed building with a rich history dating back to the 1730s. Originally built as a two-storey structure on the site of Christian IV's Canon Foundry, it has been heightened twice and has housed notable residents, including the architect Wilhelm Klein and a prominent bookshop in the 1810s. Known as Glargården or 'The Glass House' in the mid-20th century, it reflects the architectural evolution of Copenhagen and is now owned by the Barfoed Group. This building offers a glimpse into the city's past and is a must-visit for those interested in Danish history and architecture.
