Kringlegangen is a passageway linking the square Gråbrødretorv with the street Valkendorfsgade in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. A bakery was operated on the site from before 1787 until at least the 1910s. The present building complex (Gråbrødretorv 17/ Valkendorfsgade 32) was constructed in 1856-1857 for master joiner Carl Heinrich Winther. The passageway was not opened to the public until 1975. The name Kringlegangen was inspired by a gilded kringle above the entrance from Gråbrødretorv as well as to the twisting and turning course of the passageway. The entire building complex was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.

In the beginning of the 20th century, it was proposed to extend the street Kejsergade to Valkendorfsgade by demolishing Gråbrødretorv 17 and some of the surrounding buildings to create a more obvious link between Skindergade and Strøget. The plans were ultimately given up.[32]

At the time of the 1906 census, Gråbrødretorv 17 was home to just 16 people. Fredrik Sofus Nielsen, a master baker, resided in the building with his wife Marie Charlotte Nielsen. Valdemar Vilhelm Andersen, an engraver, resided on the first floor with his wife Lydia Mary Ann Andersen and their daughter Alice Collius Andersen.

The complex was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places by the Danish Heritage Agency in 1945. The passageway through the complex was opened to the public in 1975. The name Kringlegangen was the result of a competition.[34]
