 Owned the estate at Vingaardsstræde 137, in the inner city of Copenhagen. It had previously belonged to Grevinde Reventlow, when he bought it in 1757. Already by 1783 it was necessary for him to sell almost all of his personal belongings, including the property on Vingaardsstræde no. 137, which he sold to the wine merchants Søren Kolstrup and Ditlef Bøhling (Engquist 1951, 90).
