A historic house at Rahbeks Allé 23 where Kamma and Knud Lyne Rahbek made their home a centre of Danish Golden Age literary life between 1802 and 1830, receiving Hans Christian Andersen, Adam Oehlenschläger, H.C. Ørsted and N.F.S. Grundtvig. IMPORTANT: the museum has been temporarily closed since a press release of 5 September 2025 because of mould, while indoor-climate measurements are carried out; no reopening date has been published. The Orangeriet café on site remains open (weekdays 07:00-16:00, weekends 08:00-16:00).
