admiral gjeddes gaard dinner

the fulbright orientation ended with a dinner here: admiral gjeddes gaard.  this is the front side of the inner courtyard in this landmark building.  over the centuries the rooms and sections within have served as artist's quarters and gallery, lawyer's offices, accounting firms, apartments, inn and restaurant, and a brothel....and by centuries, i really mean that.  most of the building burned in the 1700's but the foundation on this end remains.  much of the items used to rebuild were scavenged from other burned buildings in the city....the door to the left (not pictured) was taken from rosenborg castle.  of course, the best part of that story is that rosenborg was not harmed in the fire.
