History

The house was built for Niels Brock in 1780. The merchant and politician Christian August Broberg (1811-1886) lived in the building from 1837 until 1880. The nearby street Brobergsgade is named after him. The historian and writer Peder Vilhelm Jacobsen (1799-1848) lived in the building from 1846 and until his death in 1848.

Architecture

The house was renovated by the architect Bent Helweg-Møller in 1917-1918. The complex also comprises the warehouse at Wildersgade 51 on the other side of the block and a side wing along the north side of the courtyard that separates the two buildings.
