context_page_description: Kunstnerkollegiet is a hall of residence with 32 apartments for students at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and other universities in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was founded in 1974 but its building, formerly known as Trøstens Bolig and Soldins Stiftelse, traces its history back to the 1810s. It is a three-winged complex built in the Neoclassical style to design by Christian Frederik Hansen. The main entrance is located at Skindergade 34, but the three-winged complex is closed on the other side by a low wall with another gate at Dyrkøb 1 and one of the gables faces Fiolstræde.
context_section_description: Soldins Stiftelse was founded in 1845 by Hanne Soldin (née Ruben) the widow of Salomon Soldin, a bookseller, publisher, editor and writer, who had died in 1837. The foundation acquired Trøstens Bolig and converted it into a home for indigent widows and unmarried women of the middle class in 1854. It comprised 29 residences with low rent and 11 residences with no rent.
