Bondebyen (Pesants' Town inDanish) is a historical neighbourhood ofKongens Lyngby. It is considered the best-preserved country town of theCopenhagen area,[1] albeit it is now in the middle of the heavily urbanized Lyngby-Taarbæk municipality.
Among the notable buildings is the house ofStøvlet-Cathrine, as well as Lindegaarden (Linden Farm), built between 1841–1883.[2] Høstvej nr. 4,Vilhelminelyst, wasGyrithe Lemche's ancestral home. The known jurist Janus Kolderup-Rosenvinge lived in Høstvej nr. 6, and the merchant J. Fr. Tutein lived in Asylgade nr. 7.
The associationBondebylauget has worked since 1970 to preserve, improve and restore the area;[3] its president, Niels Friderichsen, is generally recognized to have saved Bondebyen from destruction by the buldozer-happyLyngby-Taarbæk municipality.[4] Most of the buildings in Bondebyen are nowlisted.[5][6]
