The Storm House (Danish: Den Stormske Gård), also known as Anna Sophie Reventlow House, is a listed property in Slotsholmsgade on the island of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

History

The house was built in 1696 but was later expanded to the west.[1] The building later belonged to Frederick IV, who used it first for his mistress Countess Schindel and later for his morganatic wife Anne Sophie Reventlow.[2]

The building was taken over by the central administration in 1731. It was connected to the Chancerry House in 1781 and also expanded with an extra floor for the Rentekammeret.[3] The building was listed in 1945.

Today

The building currently houses part of the Ministry of Finance.
