Apartment on Strandgade in København K

Strandgade.

Located in the heart of picturesque Christianshavn, offering views over the canals, this apartment represents one of Copenhagen’s most distinctive and historically significant residences. Situated on the first floor of the protected building on Strandgade, this 377 m² home boasts a rare fusion of grand architectural heritage, authentic historical features, and an exceptional location. It is ideal for discerning tenants seeking a living space that transcends the ordinary.

Upon entering, one is immediately struck by the soaring ceilings, wide original plank flooring, and elegantly crafted stucco ceilings. The interior harmoniously blends historic charm with practical, contemporary design, featuring numerous period details such as original wall paneling, hand-carved corbels, and antique molded doors—all carefully preserved. Expansive, multi-paned windows equipped with secondary glazing allow natural light to flood in from both the courtyard and street sides, creating a light, almost poetic atmosphere while ensuring excellent insulation and tranquility. The rooms are arranged on a stately floor plan with multiple generous en suite living areas, perfectly suited for formal entertaining as well as private moments of solitude.

Several rooms showcase rare, protected wall paintings that now serve as integral artistic elements within the apartment. A particularly notable feature is a large, restored mural depicting Christian VII on a hunting scene, flanked by Johann Friedrich Struensee and Caroline Mathilde. This historically significant painting has been meticulously restored in collaboration with the National Museum, adding a unique cultural depth seldom encountered in private dwellings.

Strandgade itself stands as an architectural gem, originally constructed in 1626 and undergoing extensive restoration between 1998 and 1999. This refurbishment garnered a nomination for the esteemed Europa Nostra award, celebrated for its respectful and expert preservation of Danish architectural heritage. The building’s classic facade with red plaster, black glazed tile roofing, cornices, and a pediment adorned with embedded initials contribute to its commanding and elegant street presence.

The stairwell exudes grandeur with its fitted runner, while a quiet, green courtyard lies behind the building, shared amongst the residents. This tranquil space offers room for both relaxation and contemplation, nestled comfortably within the city yet shielded from its hustle and bustle.

Christianshavn’s location is truly iconic, merging maritime allure, historical ambiance, and modern urban living in a perfectly balanced setting. Residents enjoy close proximity to Christianshavn’s canal, charming cobblestone streets, high-quality cafés and restaurants, the metro station, and the vibrant cultural scene that defines the neighborhood. At the same time, the area maintains a peaceful, authentic atmosphere—an uncommon quality in central Copenhagen.

This is far more than just an apartment; it is a comprehensive living experience, uniting cultural heritage, aesthetics, spaciousness, and location in a manner rarely available on the market. The property suits exclusive private residence, prestigious ambassadorial housing, or as a headquarters for tenants with an appreciation for historical excellence and classic Copenhagen style.
