Jens Kofoed, the “liberator of Bornholm”,
was born in a farmhouse that was once located on this site. Kofoed took part in an uprising that led to the execution of Printzensköld,
Sweden’s then lord lieutenant, in 1658. The present building served as the residence and offices of the island’s chief administrative officer from 1840 to 2005.
The portal’s wooden cornice, borne by two narrow corbels, was added to decorate the long half-timbered façade.
