context_page_description: Nyhavn 15 is a historic townhouse overlooking the Nyhavn Canal in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
context_section_description: The building consists of three storeys and a basement and is four bays wide. On its rear is a small courtyard. The most distinctive feature of the building is a relief of an elephant mounted above the door. It was installed by Jørgen Alsing as an advertisement for his oriental products. An "8" above the elephant relief is an old cadastral number (matrikelnyummer) but has been the cause of some confusion when people have mistaken it for the house number (which is No. 15).  The building was listed on the Danish Registry of Protected Buildings and Places in 1945.
