Nyhaven means new harbor. This moniker was appropriate when the canal was dredged in the 1670s. The waterfront bustled with fishing and cargo ships when most of these row houses were built during the 17th and 18th century. The fourth building from the left is the oldest. No. 9. was built in 1681. After decades of decline, the area was revitalized during the 1970s. The pedestrian streets are now a popular place for locals and tourists.
