Antonigade

Antonigade is a street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Pilestræde in the southwest to Kristen Bernikows Gade in the northeast.

History

The street was in the Middle Ages known as Lille Pilestræde (Little Pilestræde). Its name was later changed to Antonistræde after the Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony in Præstø who until the Teformation owned a building approximately where Silkegade 6Mbsash&8 is today. The street was renamed Antonigade in connection with an extension in 1901.[1][2]
