History
Store Godthåb is an example of the country houses which were built in the area after it had been auctioned off by the state in 1765. The house was built in 1770 for Henrich Wium, a manufacturer of face powder and starch. It is believed that Johan Christian Conradi. At that time, the estate covered large areas of land at that time, both north and south of present day Godthåbsvej. After the turn of the century, the land was gradually sold off in lots as the area along Godthåbsvej was built over, first with low sprawl of one to three storeys and towards the end of the century by higher apartment buildings.
Buildings
The property consists of three buildings surrounding a courtyard. The main building consists of two storeys under a high half hipped tile roof. The two other buildings are a gardener's house from 1702 and a barn from about 1850. All three buildings and the courtyard were listed in 1954.
