Prindsen's history

On March 5th, 1695, King Christian the 5th issued a decree concerning “public shelters and pubs in Denmark.” In this decree it was written that shelters were to be opened on shopping streets through which post was delivered. In accordance with the decree, what is known as Zleep Hotel Prindsen Roskilde today was built as a privileged inn. In 1731, a terrible fire ravaged the city of Roskilde, and it unfortunately burned down a large part of the hotel as well. However, the hotel was restored by the owner, Madam Berg. In the 1800s, H.C. Andersen frequently visited the old hotel and so did the author and seascapist Holger Drachmann before he moved into Roskilde Palace.

In 1875 the old inn was torn down and built up again but this time as a new and modern hotel. In 1876 the city’s many travelers could once again look for accomodation at the old hotel Prindsen that again opened its doors for the public after the renovation. The main building is designed by the architect Ove Petersen from The Royal Theater in a French renaissance inspired style. This style has given the beautiful building a special facade. It is thanks to this facade towards the main street and the Golden Age room that makes it so unique.
