Brolæggerstræde, also known as J. C. Jacobsens Bryggergård, was the location of Carlsberg-founder J. C. Jacobsen's first breweryin Copenhagen, Denmark. He kept the property after inaugurating his new Carlsberg Brewery in Valby in 1847 and building an extravagant new home next to it in 1854. A commemorative plaque above the gate commemorates that J. C. Jacobsen's son Carl Jacobsen was born in the building in 1842 and that J. C. Jacobsen undertook his first experiments with the brewing of lager beer on the site in 1838. The property comprises a five-storey brewery building in the courtyard as well as a four-storey apartment building and a former warehouse around the corner at Knabrostræde 11–13. The entire complex was constructed as part of the rebuilding of the city following the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945. The property is now owned by the Carlsberg Foundation and the Ny Carlsberg Foundation is based in the brewery building in the courtyard. Other notable former residents include the writer Thomas Christopher Bruun, composer Friedrich Ludwig Æmilius Kunzen, theologian Jens Møller and architect Johan Daniel Herholdt. The adjacent corner building Knabrostræde 9 was also listed in 1045 and is also owned by the Carlsberg Foundation. A commemorative plaque on the chamfered corner commemoraties that J. C. Jacobsen was born in the building in 1811.
