Early history

edit

The property was part of a large lot at present-day No. 8–14. No. 14 was sold off to statholder Frantz Rantzow in 1630. In 1632, he was appointed to Steward of the Realm but died later that same year. It is believed that the house was built in about 1640 for Nahman Hiort, one of the first councilmen of the new market town which had been incorporated on 8 June 1639. Nahman Hiort owned both No. 14 and No. 12 from 1642 to 1653. The next owner was baker Jens Sørensen, whose widow owned the property until 1668.[1] The property was listed as No. 15 in Christianshavn Quarter in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689. It was at that time owned by brewer Anders Svendsen.
