Store Godthåb
Store Godthåb is a former late 18th-century country house in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is located on Godthåbsvej (No 79), which is named after the property, just west of its intersection with Nordre Fasanvej. The main building, a former barn and a third building were listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1954. History Store Godthåb is an example of the country houses which were built in the area after it had been auctioned off by the state in 1765. The house was built in 1770 for Henrich Wium, a manufacturer of face powder and starch. It is believed that Johan Christian Conradi designed the building. At that time, the estate covered large areas of land, both north and south of present-day Godthåbsvej. Wium went bankrupt in 1775. Godthåb was therefore sold in forced auction. The buyer was Abraham Schneider, owner of the nearby Grøndal as well as Jonstrup Textile Mill and stakes in a number of merchant ships. He was the ...
