Dronningens Tværgade 5 is a Neoclassical property situated in Dronningens Tværgade, opposite the Moltke Mansion, in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The building fronting the street was together with the adjacent buildings at No. 7 and No. 9 constructed in 1793–1794 by master builders Hans Ondrup and A. Giedde. On its rear stand a three-storey side wing and a one-storey former bank building, both dating from c. 1850. The entire complex was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1951 and 1999. Notable former residents include the jurist and later prime minister of Denmark Peter Georg Bang, the military officer Hans Dahlerup and the poet and author Vita Andersen. History Construction The site was originally part of the extensive garden of the Gyldensten Mansion which reached all the way from Bredgade to Store Kongensgade along the south side of Dronningens Tværgade. The house was named after Jean Henri Huguetan, Count Gyldensteen. In 1793, part of the garden was divided into three long, narrow lots and sold off for redevelopment. The current building was constructed in 1794 together with the adjacent buildings at No. 7 and No. 9 by the master builders Hans Ondrup (1751–1814) and A. Giedde. 19th century The property was acquired by general trader (sadsmægler) Jacob Jacobsen (1752–1827).

Architecture Dronningens Tværgade 5 is constructed with three storeys above a walk-out basement. The two slightly projecting outer bays are wider than the three central ones. In the outer bay to the left is a gateway topped by a ganlight and in the one to the right is a basement entrance topped by a hood mould supported by corbels. The two outer bays are on the ground floor finished with shadow joints, a detail first mentioned in 1851. Other decorative elements include blank bands between the central windows on the upper floors and a modillioned cornice. The roof features a three-bay wall dormer, flanked by two smaller dormer windows. An eight-bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building along the west side of a narrow courtyard. Its facade is dotted with ornamental wall anchors. On the other side of the courtyard is a somewhat shorter and free-standing side wing. At the far end of the courtyard stands a one-storey, detached rear wing. It was originally used as a bank building. The main entrance has a stone portal.
