What is the name of this shop in Copenhagen I remember?

I used its (only in Danish) website for Christmas inspiration a couple of years ago and have completely forgotten the name.

It's very central - I think in Indre By. I remember we came out of a church and turned left down the street. It was on the right hand side, I think on a corner. Inside it had general homeware, including rugs, kitchen utensils, lots and lots of vases, soft furnishings etc. There was a wonderful collection of Christmas decorations - I have a Danish flag one that I bought there.

I cannot for the life of me remember the name. Can anyone help? I'm currently driving around on Google streetview to try and find it, with no luck.

Could it be Sostrene Grene?

Or Illums Bolighus ?

I bought a snowball tea light holder there over 20 years ago !

It is not @MadameOvary81 although I am scrolling through their site for inspiration in the meantime - thanks. I know as soon as I see the name I will recognise it. I frequented the website for quite some time after our first visit!

This is also a popular Danish store for Christmas things...

Did you take any photos that day that might be geotagged?

MadameOvary81 · 10/12/2021 11:26

Or www.brostecopenhagen.com/products/christmas/c-80/

I'm so sorry for spamming you, but just when I think I've run out of Danish homeware shops, I remember another one. lol

It doesn't seem like I took any pictures of the shop or the bloody church it was near to just a million pictures of every smorrebrod I scoffed. Fabulous idea, I failed to execute.

These suggestions are all fab but I don't think they're right. I can smell I am getting near to it on streetview though. I think I've just found a square which was at the bottom of the road we walked down after leaving.

I've found it!

The church is Vor Frue Kirke and the shop is called Notre Dame (website here )

It is just how I remember it, but I got stuck on the Wikipedia page 'List of Churches in Copenhagen' because the picture they have of the Church isn't how I remember it (I think I remember the back of the Church, which is in a courtyard). I did think the street was cobbled though.

The Sostrene Grene on the corner opposite the Helligaandskirken was really confusing me though. I thought I'd dreamt the whole thing!

Oh I love this! Went on a work course there a few years ago and bought so much from this store. I love finding it each year. Copenhagen at Christmas is heaven.
