History

Construction

The property was initially referred to as Lot 19A when Kronprinsessegade was created in c. 1800. The present building on the site was constructed by master builder Johan Martin Quist in 1805–6. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 389 in St. Ann's West Quarter. It was still owned by Quist at that time.

The property was later owned by Supreme Court justice Hans Rosenkilde (17651837).

He lived there with his wife Karen Rasmine Baggesen, their five children (aged three to 13), two lodgers and one maid. Christen Petersen Estrup, a grocer (''høker''), resided in the basement with his wife Christine Petersen Estrup and their 10-year-old daughter.

In c. 1837, the property was bought by administrator of Huscreditkassen Carl Jacob Holm (1796-1875). In 1838, Christian Wilhelm Haagen rented the second floor apartment for an annual rent of 600 Danish rigsdaler. The first floor apartment was at the same time let out to admiral Ulrich Anton Schønheyder (1775-1858),

He lived there with his wife Johanne Henriette Kierulf (1798–1867), their six children (aged five to 19), a governess, one male servant and two maids. One of their sons were the later architect Hans Jørgen Holm. Anne Bolette Holm, Carl Jacob Holm's unmarried sister, resided on the same floor with the lodger Axel Niels Juel and one maid. Christian Vilhelm Haagen resided on the second floor with his wife Agathe Elisa Ketty Kornerup, their two children (aged 17 and 19), lodger Nicolay Valdemar Kornerup (jurist), one male servant and one maid.

It had later moved to first Amagertorv, then Silkegade and finally Østergade before being relocating to his new property in Kronprinsessegade. Stau is today remembered for founding Varde Museum. In the 10++s, he established the canned food factory Danica in the 1900s. He also establish Dansk-Engelsk Biiscuitfabrik in partnership with his brother Christian Stau. Management of the latter company was later taken over by Christian Stau Jr.. One of Christian Stau's daughters married Niels Sholtz. He had previously managed a plantation in Siam but succeeded his father-in-law as mager of C. Stau & Co. He and his wife resided in the third-floor apartment at Kronprinsessegade 14.
