Vingårdstræde 19

Vingårdstrøde 19 is a Neoclassical property situated on Vingårdstræde, between Kongens Nytorv and Nikolaj Plads, in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Like most of the other buildings in the area, the building was constructed as part of the rebuilding of the city following the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1959. A number of people associated with the Royal Danish Theatre have resided in the building, including ballet dancers and choreographers Antoine Bournonville, August Bournonville and Carl Dahlén, as well as a number of members of the Royal Danish Orchestra. Other notable former residents include future cookbook writer Anne Marie Mangor, portrait painter Johan Frederik Møller and sculptor Daniel Peter Støhrmann.

18th century
By 1689, when Copenhagen's first cadastre was launched, the property was listed as No. 144 in the city's East Quarter (Øster Kvarter) and belonged to renteskriver Ander Sørensen's widow. It was later divided into two properties. They were listed as No. 176 and No. 177 in the new cadastre of 1756, and were at that time both owned by beer seller (øltapper) Frederik Hansen,

Together with most of the other buildings in the area, the properties were destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795 and subsequently merged again into a single property. The construction of the current building on the site was commenced by Niels Hansen and later completed by Hans Christian Schmidt in 1796. Schmidt was also responsible for the construction of Bremerholm 26 (1799–1800), Bremerholm 28/Dybensgade 14 (1797–1800), Nikolaj Plads 23 (1800) and the adaptation of the ruined St. Nicolas' church tower into a combined fire station and watch tower (1821–1823).

19th century
Future cookbook writer Anne Marie Mangor (née Bang; 1781–1865) and her husband Valentin Mangor (1770–1812) resided in the building from 1801 to 1807. Valentin Mangor was a senior clerk working for Hof- og Stadsretten.

At the time of the 1801 census, the property was also home to six other households. Johan Volf, operator of a billiards salon, resided in the building with his wife Anna Olsen, their seven children (aged two to 15), a female cook and a maid.

Architecture
Vingårdstræde 19 is constructed with three storeys over a walk-out basement and is seven bays wide. The plastered facade is finished with a belt course above the ground floor and a modillioned cornice. The main entrance in the central bay is raised four steps from street level and topped by a hood mould supported by corbels. It is flanked by two basement entrances in the third and fifth bays. All the windows are accented with sills supported by corbels and between the five central bays of the two upper floors is a depressed rectangular band.

Two single-bay appendices, one at each end, extend from the rear side of the building. The eastern appendix is the remains of a longer perpendicular wing which was shortened to the current length in connection with a renovation in 1970–1971.

Today
The building is now owned by A/B Vingården. It contains two apartments on each floor.
