Sværtegade 1 / Pilestræde 40 is a heritage listed building situated at the corner of Pilestræde and Sværtegade in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. Originally a two-storey building from the 1730s, constructed on the foundations of Christian IV's Canon Foundry, it was later heightened twice, first with one storey in 1812 and then with another one in 1850. Christian Steen opened a bookshop in the building in the 1810s. Other notable former residents include the architect Wilhelm Klein. In the middle of the 20th century, Pilestræde 40 became known as Glargården (Old Danish: The Galss House) after having been acquired by Copenhagen's Glaziers Guild. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1986. It is now owned by Odense-based Barfoed Group.
