History
edit17th century

The site was formerly part of two properties, listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 262 and No. 263 in Købmager Quarter. The two properties were listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 324 and No. 325 in Købmager Quarter and were both owned by shoemaker Johan Jacob Elvig at that time.[1]
The two small properties were acquired by architect Hans Næss and master carpenter Jens Suhr in 1765. The present building on the site was constructed to designs by Nøss in 1766.[2] With its four-floor and stucco decorations, it stoof out from the low, half-timbered houses that dominated the rest of the street, making it colloquially known as "The Castle" )Danish: Slottet) among the other residents of the neighborhood. Næss resided in the building until his death in 1795.[2]
The physician Urban Bruun Aaskov (1742-1806) was among the residents of the building in 1774. He worked as phtsician for the Royal Danish Navy (Admiralitæts-Medicus) at that time.[3]

Poulsen's property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 237.[1]

Architecture
edit_03.jpg)
Antonigade 9 is a four-winged complex constructed in brick with four storeys above a walk-out basement. The three central bays of the seven bays wide facade form a slightly projecting median risalit. The facade is plasered and grey-painted on the ground floor and the exposed part of the basement, and white-painted on its upper part. The upper part of the median risalit is decorated with stucco festoons below the first-floor windows, medallions with garlands below the second-floor windows, and projecting rectangles with "nail reliefs" in the corners below the third-floor windows. The second-floor windows of the median risalit are accented with a heacy dentillated sill course. Its first-floor windows are accented with projecting sills. The lateral sections of the facade are decorated with tall, arched niches below the first floor windows, mimicking balustrades, and slightly depressed rectangles below the windows of the two upper floors.The cornice is supported by eight triglyphic corbels. The building's main entrance is located in the centre of the facade. The basement entrances are located in the two outer bays. The Mansard roof features three dormer windows towards the street.[2]

Two two-bays-log side wings with monopitched roofs projects from the rear side of the front wing along each their side of a central courtyard. They are attached to the front wing via two inwardly diagonal bays attached to the front wing, a solution selected to allow as many windows on the resr side of the front wing as possible. The two side wings are again attached to the rear wing via two canted corner bays. All the facades facing the courtyard are plastered and yellow-painted.[2]
The western side wing and the rear side of the rear wing are constructed with timber framing. Most of the timber was renewed in conjunction with a renovation undertaken by Elkjær Arkitekter.
Today
editThe building is now owned by Jeudan. Its two lower floors are used as office space and its two upper floors as residential apartments.[2]
