Korsbrødregården
The Korsbrødregården ("Kreuzbrüderhof", Johanniterhaus) is a Gothic brick building in the Danish town of Nyborg , located on Funen on the west coast of the Great Belt . The two-winged building stands south of the Vor Frue Kirke (Church of Our Lady).
At the beginning of the 15th century, Steen Basse, a royal feudal man at Nyborg Castle , acquired the corner property south of the church and had his private brick home built on it. The Korsbrødregården is one of the oldest secular houses in Denmark. In 1441 he donated his property to the Hospitallers of the Antvorskov branch . They sent a few friars there and kept the building until the secularization of their religious house in Antvorskov. As early as 1560, however, the Korsbrødregården was supposed to be made available to the Nyborg customs officer as an apartment. After the secularization of Antvorskov, the Johanniterhaus in Nyborg was given to various citizens of the city for use. A councilor bought it in 1613 and had it completely renovated, including the renaissance gable. From 1647 a mayor owned it and had it enlarged. The two firewalls still have crowns in the shape of stepped gables .
