Nyboders Mindestuer

What you see in front of you is the Nyboders Mindestuer, a must-see when visiting the neighbourhood. In fact, it’s the only building still standing here since the 17th century. It is a fine example of the single-story row construction houses that were built to form this neighborhood and to accommodate the soldiers at that time. In 1757, two-story houses were built to receive the city’s growing population. Sadly, most of these characteristic buildings were sold and demolished a century later, explaining why only a few are left today, of which only one is an original. There were attempts to take down this home a few times, which, fortunately, never happened. These premises are now protected as a Historical monument in Copenhagen, where a museum is now open to the public, helping visitors understand Nyboder’s history and a sailor’s everyday life here.
