Bakkehuset Museum Frederiksberg

Bakkehuset Museum Frederiksberg

The Bakkehus Museum of literary and cultural history is installed in the apartment in which Kamma and Knud Lyne Rahbek lived from 1802 until their deaths in 1829 and 1830 respectively. The museum provides a vivid impression of the private home to which many of the great authors, artists and scientists of the Golden Age were regular visitors, and which combined elements and ideas from the Age of Enlightenment and Romanticism. The atmosphere in the home has been preserved in a union between environment and authenticity. Take a tour of the rooms in the museum.

Bakkehuset has roots going right back to the 17th century, and the name, meaning Hill House, refers to its position on Valby Bakke, Valby Hill, which is the highest in the Copenhagen area. Among other things, Bakkehuset has been a wayside hostelry and for many years stood on its own as a farm with four wings.
