A side street leading off Slottensgade. The sweet scent called to mind by the name (which means “Rose Street” in English) was intended to counterbalance the stench that once infused the street. This used to be a “street of ill repute”, packed with bars etc. Note that, unusually, the gutter runs along the centre of the road. Gutters were usually positioned closer to the houses. The reason for this anomaly is that when people left the bars, they were often somewhat unsteady on their feet, and had to prop themselves up against the walls of the neighbouring houses, and they preferred not to have to negotiate a gutter first. Therefore, the gutter was positioned in the middle of the road! Nankes Plads
