Ministry of Culture (Denmark)

Headquarters of The Ministry of Culture Denmark

The Ministry of Culture Denmark (Danish: Kulturministeriet) is a ministry of the Danish Government, with responsibility for culture, sport and media.

History

The Danish Ministry of Culture was founded in 1961 with Julius Bomholt as its first cultural minister.^[1]

Headquarters

The Ministry is located at Gammel Strand with address from Nybrogade 2. The building is a former mayor's house dating from 1729–30, built for mayor Christian Bjerregård. Originally, it was a three-winged building but a fourth wing facing the canal was added by the architect Philip de Lange. It served from 1759 to c. 1950 as a pawnbroker's shop. In 1962, the Ministry of Culture moved in after the building had undergone a thorough restoration.^[2]
