Bredgade 45 is a former town mansion situated around the corner from Frederik's Church in the Frederiksstaden district of central Copenhagen, Denmark. Originally constructed as an extension to the adjacent Moltke Mansion, it owes its current Historicist design to a renovation undertaken by Vilhelm Dahlerup. Notable residents include Governor-General of the Danish West Indies Peter von Scholten, naval officer Steen Andersen Bille, landowner Peder Brønnum Scavenius and businessman and art collector Heinrich Hirschsprung. The property is now owned by Jeudan. Female Founders House, a hub for femakle entrepreneurs, is based in the side wing (Bredgade 45B).

History

Construction

The north wing of Count Danneskiold-Laurvig's mansion in c. 1750

In 1729–1730, Ferdinand Danneskiold-Laurvig expanded the Danneskiold-Laurvig Mansion with a new north wing. The building was most likely constructed by Phillip de Langes.[1] The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 209 in St. Ann's East Quarter.[2]

On 17 November 1788, Frédéric de Coninck and Niels Lunde Reiersen purchased the mansion. Coninck became the sole owner of the property in 1789. Om the 180+s, he undertook a comprehensice transformation of the north wing. He initially charged Andreas Kurjerup with creating a plan for a hotel (herbergergård) on the site bit these plans were not realized. Coninck kept the north wing when he sold the corner building to dowager queen Juliane Marie (1729-1796) in 1794. The property was subsequently referred to as No. 209 C. The long building was divided into three sections. The section closest to the Frederick's Church site was used as his own home and office. The central section contained the home of his brother Jean de Coninck. The section adjacent to the old mansion was used as residential quarters for staff.

Coninck's property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 186 in St. Ann's East Quarter. The poet and translator C. F. E. Wilster (1797-1840) was a resident in the building in 1911.[3]

In 1820, Louis de Coninck sold half of the property to his brother-in-law Jean Monard. Monard had previously served as pastor at the Teformed Church in Copenhagen.

In December 1880, Bredgade 45 was acquired by master saddler and later politician C. T. Rothmann for DKK 179,000. The building was subsequently adapted by Vilhelm Dahlerup.
