In the opposite direction, The Prince's Bridge connects the street to Tøjhusgade on Slotsholmen. History The first houses along the street were built in about 1670 when it was known as Prindsensgade.

Johannes Hage
Johannes Hage (1842 – 1923) was a Danish businessman who became a philanthropist and later founder of the Nivaagaard museum. He was the son of a brickworks director whose estate and complex at Nivaagaard he inherited in 1872. Under his direction the company prospered by supplying bricks to building projects in Copenhagen. With his wealth Hage subsidized the National Museum ( Statens Museum for Kunst), but in 1908 decided to found his own art gallery, the ''Nivaagaards Malerisamling'', with 150 paintings.
