The Mintmasters Mansion 1683
The Mintmasters Mansion is a half-timbered house. It is built by the Royal Mintmaster Gregorius Sessemann as his private residence at the present no. 9, Borgergade in Copenhagen; the mint forge was located on the side street, Helsingørgade. The mintmasters lived in the house until 1749. The building and its neighbourhood went through a slow process of social degradation during the following 200 years. In 1944 Copenhagen City Museum took down the house with the intention of reconstructing it on another location. The house was transferred to The Old Town in 1995, and was rebuilt here in 1999 as it stood in 1750.
You can read about the rebuilding of the Mintmasters Mansion right here.
