Palægade (literally "Mansion Street") is a street located close to Kongens Nytorv in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Bredgade in the east to Store Kongensgade in the west.
History
[edit]
Palægade is one of the youngest streets in central Copenhagen. It takes its name after Palæhaven, an entertainment venue which had been established in the former garden of the Thott Mansion on Kongens Nytorv in the second half of the 19th century. It was entered through a gate in a building on Bredgade. Palægade was established in the 1870s.[1]
Notable buildings and residents
[edit]The street is built over with four large properties all of which have been designed in the Historicist style with ample use of decorative elements and bay windows. The two buildings on the corners with Bredgade were designed by Emil Blichfeldt on collaboration with Gotfred Tvede. Built in 1899-1900, No. 1–3 has granite rustication on the ground floor and the corner is tipped by a small spire. [2] The building at the opposite corner (No. 2–4) is from 1800–02. A stucco dragon above the door at the corner carries a round turnet tipped by a copper spire. Small dragons also flank the other doors in the building.[3] The two buildings in the Store Kongensgade end of the street were designed by Philip Smidth.
The Galleri Jules Julian art gallery is located at No. 7.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
