Steinfass House (Danish: Steinfass Gård) is a listed house overlooking Christianshavn Canal in the Christianshavn neighbourhood of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is now part of the Sofiegården hall of residence.
17th and 18th centuries
A larger property at the site was listed as No. 102 in Christianshavn Quarter in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1789. It was at that time owned by judge Iver Caspersen. It was later divided into a number of smaller properties. The property now known as Overgaden Oven Vandet 32 was listed as No. 311 in the new cadastre of 1756. It was at that time owned by Lars Pedersen Tøyberg.[1]
The current house was built for Jacob Steinfass in 1770–71 to a design by an unknown architect.[2]
19th century
The property was listed as No. 186 in the new cadastre of 1806. It was at that time owned by haulier Jens Olsen.
The painter P. C. Skovgaard lived in the building from 1842 to 1843.[3] The building was listed in 1945.[4]
Architecture
Steinfass House is built in the Neoclassical style. It was built as an adaption and extension of an existing building and incorporates elements from its predecessor.[2]
