Kanslergården is a high-end houseing estate in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Constructed in 1919 to designs by Henning Hansen, with its imposing Baroque Revival architecture and large apartments, it set a new standard for public housing in the city. It was listed on the Danish register of protected buildings and places in 2001. In the same year, it was converted into condominiums. The building complex forms an L-shaped perimeter block, whose central courtyard is divided in two by a cross wing. It is surrounded by the namesake street Kanslergade, Serridslevvej and the small greenspace Ove Rodes Plads. Prime minister Thorvald Stauning resided in one of the apartments in 1933 when the Kanslergade Agreement was concluded in his apartment.

Kanslergården was constructed by the city in 1919 as part of an initiative directed at keeping more well-to-do tax-payers from moving to the suburbs. Henning Hansen was charged with designing the building.^[1]

Prime minister Thorvald Stauning resided in one of the apartments at Kanslergade 10 (now Ove Rodes Plads 1). On 29 January 1933, he hosted the political negotiations that resulted in the so-called Kanslergade Agreement.

Other notable former residents include actor Poul Reumert (1919-; Serridslevvej 34 1st floor), actress Agnes Henningsen (Serridslevvej 36 3rd floor) and Peter Freuchen.^[1]

The building was listed on the Danish register of protected buildings and places in 2011. ^[2]
