Peder Malling

Peder Malling was a Danish architect. He served as city architect in Copenhagen from 1809 until his death and as chief architect for the Royal Danish Navy from 1819. None of these appointments resulted in major construction projects, partly because his terms of office fell during a period of economic crisis and partly because C. F. Hansen, his former mentor, had already been assigned the most significant tasks of the time. Malling is best known for designing the main buildings of Sorø Academy in Sorø and Copenhagen University on Frue Plads in Copenhagen.
