Sankt Annæ Plads 11

HAAGEN & MØLLER are situated at Sankt Annæ Plads 11. Sankt Annæ Plads is one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful public squares marking the border between the Nyhavn area and Frederikstaden neighborhoods of central Copenhagen.

Sankt Annæ Plads was originally part of a canal which continued along present-day Bredgade and Esplanaden, surrounding the then Royal palace, Sophie Amalienborg. The Garrison Church was built in 1703–06 using i.a. bricks from the Royal palace, which was destroyed in a fire in 1689. The square was created when the canal was filled in connection with the foundation of the Frederikstaden district around 1750.

The mansion in Sankt Annæ Plads 11 was built in 1801 by Professor and Stadsconducteur J.H. Rawert for his and his family’s own use.

THE HERITAGE OF SANKT ANNÆ PLADS 11

Sankt Annæ Plads 11 has subsequently housed several prominent people of business and politics.

Count Carl von Moltke (1798-1866), former Prime Minister and director of Rentekammeret, resided in Sankt Annæ Plads 11 from 1839 -1844.

Haagen Mathiesen, a Norwegian businessman and ship-owner, who resided in what is now the firm’s offices.

Ancker Wilhelm Frederik von Bornemann, a retired Supreme Court judge, resided in another apartment with his wife Harriet, a housekeeper, a female cook, a maid, a male servant and a caretaker.

In 1844 the property was acquired by Ancker Wilhelm Frederik von Borneman's son, Supreme Court judge and politician Cosmus Bornemann. Sankt Annæ Plads 11 remained in the Bornemann family’s ownership until 1918 at which time the mansion was listed as a protected building.

The merchant and shipowner Erich Eriksen (1752-1837) lived in the building from 1811 and until his death in 1837. Erich Erichsen had completed the more extravagant Erichsen Mansion on Kongens Nytorv in 1801 but moved to Sankt Annæ Plads 11 during the economic crisis that followed the war with England.
