History

The Danish Minestry of Culture was founded in 1961 with Julius Bomholt as its first cultural minister.[1]

Building

The Ministry of Culture is located at Gammel Strand with address from Nybrogade 37. The building is former mayor's house from 1729-30, built for mayor William Bjerregård. Originally it was a three-winged building but a fourth wing towards the canal was added by the architect Philip de Lange. From 1759 – c. 1950 it served as a pawnbroker's shop. In 1962 the Ministry of Culture moved in after the building had undergone thorough restoration.[2]
