Built in 1687, it’s safe to say that this home is drenched in history. Originally built as a winter residence for a noble family, it later became the Royal Museum of Natural History, and as of 2016, it’s been converted into luxury apartments. With love for the original structure, John has added lots of unique touches to this home – we particularly enjoyed the knick-knacks with oriental touches. Set in the heart of the city, many of the most beloved attractions are nearby – and if you want to learn more about Danish history, the National Museum is just across the street.

About Indre By

This neighbourhood is Copenhagen’s most central district. Despite it being hectic, it’s still extremely charming full of narrow, cobble-stoned streets with brightly coloured houses and calm squares that encourage breaks from the nearby shopping street, Strøget. Other than being the mecca of all things shopping-related, you are also within easy access to attractions like Kongens Have, the National Gallery of Denmark, Christiansborg, Nyhavn and Amalienborg.
