Opposite the Moltkes Palse in a slanting direction stands an elegant old palace in rococco-style » S c h i mme l - ma n s Palse« in grand retirement and separated from the street by an artistically made ironfence.

The Danish King, who highly appreciated Schimmelmann, got out of the dilemma by causing the iron fence to be placed in front of the palace and informing the angry monarch of Schimmelmann’s being in Irons. Schimmelmanns Paloe has been rearranged and partly, rebuilt and is now called the Konc e r t pa l r e .

Since then they have often tolled, also on the occasion of the deathmass for the august builder. At the corner of Fredericiagade stands a red building, erected in 1701 intended for an operahouse, later used for a military and naval academy and now used by the parliament when in session. To the right in the same street stands the Ch i r u r g i s k A c a d e m i (Surgeons’ hall) with an anthropological museum (No. 62) (admission see
