The Povl Badstuber House (Danish: Povl Badstubers Gård) is a historic property at Nørregade 13 in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark.

History

A boy's school associated with St. Petri Church on the other side of the street was formerly located at the site. The current building was constructed in 1730-1732 for cobbersmith and manufacturer Povl Badstuber .[1]

Povl Badstuber had to sell the house after he went bankrupt after a few years.

The historian Frederik E. Schiern (1816-1882) lived in the building from 1847 until 1852. The architect Peder Malling (1787-1865) lived on the second floor in 18601865.[1]

Architecture

The building is three floors tall and five bays wide. The facade is decorated with dour pilasters flanking the two double-wide corner bays and is tipped by a rounded wall dormer. Eight cannon balls are embedded in the masonry above the gate. They were found in the building in connection with a renovation in about 1900.[1] The building was listed in 1918.[2]
