The cornice was added in the 1820s.
This was where Sweden’s lord lieutenant Printzensköld was captured on 8 December 1658 by Jens Kofoed and fellow rebels.
Printzensköld reportedly attempted to escape down the street from here to the gaol, at the time located below Rønne Council Hall at the present Rådhusstræde.
As he was fleeing down the street, he was shot and killed by one of the rebels standing guard.
The spot where he fell is commemorated by three exposed flat paving stones visible in the pavement of Storegade,
directly across from Rådhusstræde, one of which is engraved with the year 1658.
According to legend, the smallest stone commemorates his faithful dog. As a result of the uprising, Bornholm remained part of Denmark.
