==History== ===Early history=== The property was part of a large lot at present-day No. 8–14. No. 14 was sold off to ''statholder'' [[Frantz Rantzow]] in 1630. In 1632, he was appointed to [[Steward of the Realm (Denmark)|Steward of the Realm]] but died later that same year. It is believed that the house was built in about 1640 for Nahman Hiort, one of the first councilmen of the new [[market town]] which had been incorporated on 8 June 1639. Nahman Hiort owned both No. 14 and No. 12 from 1642 to 1653. The next owner was baker Jens Sørensen, whose widow owned the property until 1668.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chrarkiv.dk/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/strandgade_14.pdf|title=Strandgade 14|language=Danish|publisher=Christianshavn Local History Archives|accessdate=24 November 2016}}</ref> The property was listed as No. 15 in Christianshavn Quarter in Copenhagen's first [[cadastre]] of 1689.
