No. 9, Nyhavn, is the oldest house in the area dating back to 1681.

The design of the house has not been altered since that time.

Many of the houses lining the quays of Nyhavn have been the

homes of prominent artists.

Hans Christian Andersen used to live at no. 20. This is where he

wrote the fairy-tales 'the Tinder-Box', 'Little Claus and Big Claus',

and 'the Princess and the Pea'. He also lived twenty years at no. 67

and two years at no. 18, Nyhavn.

Den Nye Havn, 'the New Haven', was originally a busy commercial

port where ships from all over the world would dock. The area

teemed with sailors, ladies of pleasure, pubs and alehouses. 'Den

Nye Havn' eventually changed its name to 'Nyhavn' ('Newhaven'),

and gradually the beautiful old slanted houses were renovated and

classy restaurants started popping up.
