It takes its name from Admiral [[Cort Adeler]] who lived there for the last seven years of his life in the 17th century.

==Architecture== [[File:Cort Adelers Gård.jpg|thumb|The building, viewed from across the street]]
The house was originally a two-storey building. It was extended with an extra floor in 1770 by the merchant Søren Lyche, who then owned it. The [[mansard roof]] dates from an adaption in 1927.
The building at No. 24 was part of the property until 1743. The houses were then both two stories high and six bays long.
The side wing dates from the 17th century and was probably built at the same time as the building facing the street. It was originally two stories high but adapted in 1943. A rear wing attached to the side wing is from 1933. It is five bays wide and four floors tall, and has a mansard roof.
On the wall in the courtyard is a white marble plaque with an inscription in gilded lettering stating that Cort Adeler lived in the building from 1768 to 1775.
==Today== The designer [[Søren Le Schmidt]] occupies the ground floor of the building.
