Regensen

Really cool old building, awesome yard and library, only accessible if you know some one who lives there

You can live there, if you study in Denmark.

Hyggeligt og billigt sted at bo 1600 for et værelse

Fantastisk sted at bo - og byens absolut bedste kig på Rundetårn fås fra Regensens gård.

Regensen er havet for os <3

From the websiteA brief description of RegensenEvery day, numerous Copenhageners pass by the arcades across from the Round Tower while probably being unaware that 100 students are living right on the other side: Regensen - or Collegium Domus Regiæ - has been located behind these red brick walls since 1623.Regensen is the second oldest college in Denmark and has almost 450 years of cultural heritage behind it with proud traditions, diversity of thought, and a history beyond the usual.Regensen accommodates 101 students. It is a self-governing institution whose overall management is placed under the University of Copenhagen. Up until 1848, the Faculty of Theology was responsible for running Regensen but since then, Regensen has been managed by several different boards. Most recently, the College Cooperative of 1983 (“Kollegiesamvirket af 1983”) was established, whose board is now responsible for managing Regensen as well as three other old, traditional colleges in Copenhagen: Elers, Valkendorfs and Borchs.A historic placeIn 1569 King Frederik II established the Kommunitet foundation - Denmark’s oldest student scholarship with the purpose of supporting 100 talented and economically disadvantaged students attending the University of Copenhagen by providing daily meals. The aim of the Kommunitet foundation was to reduce economic and practical burdens so students can focus on their studies.In 1623 the Kommunitet foundation received financial support from King Christian IV, which was spent on constructing the buildings we today know as Regensen. Over time the buildings have faced both bombings and fires, yet Regensen is still standing proud on Købmagergade in central Copenhagen.

Byens smukkeste udsigt (med indsigt).

Flot bygning!
