Lille Købmagerhus

Lille Købmagerhus is a Renaissance Revival style building situated on Købmagergade (No. 55) in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was constructed in c. 1800 for coffee retailer Christian P Hansen to designs by architect A. B. C. von Düben. The inclusion of "Lille" (English: Little) in its name destinguishes it from the slightly older and somewhat larger Købmagerhus further down the street (No. 22). Peder Hvitfeldts Stræde 4, a three-storey building from 1812 on the other side of the block, is also part of the property. Notable former residents of Peder Hvidtfeldts Stræde 4 include the philosopher Frederik Christian Sibbern [da], botanist and politicianJoakim Frederik Schouw and architectPeter Kornerup [da]. The property is today owned by Kirkebi A/S.
