History
The town mansion was built for count Ferdinand Anton Danneskiold-Laurvig in circa 1745. It is believed that it was designed by court architect Johann Adam Soherr. Danneskiold-Laurvig already owned the Gyldenløve Mansion in Bredgade. A garden connected the two buildings and the new building in Store Kongensgade was referred to as Danneskiold-Laurvig's backyard" (Danneskiold-Laurvig's baggård). The new building was also known as Jernmagasinet ("The Uron Store") since stoves and other products from Danneskiold-Laurvig's extensive iron works in Laurvig in Norway were sold from its ground floor.
The building was later passed on to Danneskiold-Laurvig's son Frederik Ludvig Danneskiold-Laurvig and his grandson Christian Conrad Danneskiold-Laurvig but then passed out of the hands of the family in about 1800.
Architecture
The Rococo-style mansion is 11 bays wide and has a median risalit decorated with pilasters. It was expanded with an extra floor some time in the 19th century. It was listed in 1954.
