===History===
[[Image:Kvæsthuset (København).jpg|thumb|200px|Kvæsthuset in c, 1750]]
The street takes its name after the the Kvæsthus, a military hospital, which relocated to the site in 1680. It is known that a hospital for boatsmen was founded in 1618 and it was then most likely situated at the [[Church of Holmen]]. It was moved to [[Gothersgade]] in 1628 and again in 1658 to Sejlhuset at [[Gammelholm|Bremerholm]]. In 1668, the hospital moved to [[Women's Prison, Christianshavn|Børnehuset]] in [[Christianshavn]] and in 1675 to Guldhuset in [[Rigensgade]].<ref></ref>
The name Kvæsthus was introduced with the inauguration of the new building for the institution at the corner of present day Kvæsthusgade and [[Sankt Annæ Plads]] in 1685. It was designed by [[Hans van Steenwinckel the Youngest]]. The institution was later split into a ''Søkvæsthus'' for the Navy which remained in the old building and a ''Landkvæsthus'' for the Army, which took over ''[[Københavns Ladegård]]'', a former farm under [[Copenhagen Castle]].<ref></ref>
The navel hospital relocated to the so-called [[Søkvæsthuset]] building on [[Christianshavn]] in 1777. The building in Kvæsthusgade was then for a while used as a warehouse for textiles that arrived to Copenhagen by ship. In 1827, the building came into use as military barracks. In 1872, it was acquired by [[DFDS]]. An area on the east side of the street was reclaimed and the [[Kvæsthusbroen|Kvæsthusbroen Pier]] was built to increase the quayside area and the number of ships that could dock at the site.<ref></ref>
==Notable buildings==
No. 1 was built in 1884-1886 med kælder og tre etager for J. P. von Osten. . It was later used as headquarters for Em. Z. Svitzers Bjergningsenterprise.<ref></ref>
The [[Zinn House )No. 3) was owned by members of the wealthy [[Johann Ludvig Zinn|Zinn family]] for more than 150 years. The building is from 1751 and was listed on the [[Listed buildings in Copenhagen Municipality#K|Danish registry of protected buildings and places]] in 1959.<ref></ref>
