Gratis omvisning på engelsk: An Italian Renaissance Palace Built for Care

Discover the intriguing history of the building now home to the Museum of Copenhagen. Constructed in 1893–94 as a guardianship office, it was where the state managed the finances of legally incapacitated women and children.

Architect H.J. Holm drew strong inspiration from the Italian Renaissance but also incorporated modern styles of the late 19th century, including the popular Jugendstil (Art Nouveau). The building reflects Holm’s high standards for quality materials and craftsmanship, alongside his practical approach to its functions. Inside, you’ll find colorful decorated ceilings, stained glass windows, ornate railings, and a central heating system.
