context_page_description: The Grandjean House is a Late Neoclassical property consisting of two separate buildings, one at Bredgade 4 and one at Store Strandstræde 3, on each side of a central courtyard, in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The property is separated from Kongens Nytorv by a small building that now houses Copenhagen Amber Museum. It was built in 1854 by the architect Christian Tybjerg for pastry chef Christian Bredo Grandjean. It replaced an older building, which was known as the Collin House after Hans Christian Andersen patron Jonas Collin, but this name is now associated with another building in Amaliegade. The Gtandjean House was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1959,
context_section_description: Jonas Collin sold the property at Store Strandstræde to the pastry chef Christian Frederik Bredo Grandjean who was already operating a conditori  from a pavilion in the courtyard behind the mainhouse.
  Grandjean built the current house in 1854 with the assistance of the architect Christian Tyberg. Grandjean took up residence in the house and operated a restaurant and a conditori from the lower floors. It was frequented by many actors and  artists, most notably Hans Christian Andersen who was a private friend of the Grandjean's.
