context_page_description: The Stephan Hansen Mansion is a listed town mansion overlooking Wibroes Plads and the Øresund in Helsingør, Denmark. It was built by Philip de Lange and represents the transition from Baroque to Rococo architecture..
context_section_description: The main building represents the transition from Baroque to Rococo architecture. Uts front has a three-bay central projection tipped by atriangular pediment but otherwise few decorations. It is likely that the building has originally stood in blank brick, similarly ro what is seen on its rear side. The building has Sash windows, a very rare seight in Danish architecture but once quite normal in Helsingør although the Stephen Hansen Mansion is the only building in the city where they have survived. Sash windows have also been used by Philip de Lange on other buildings, including Møinichen's Mansion on Købmagergade in Copenhagen. The roof is vlad with black-glazed tiles.
  The main wing's gate is flanked by two rough iron lamps. The gate opens onto a cobbled courtyard. The gate in the wall on Sofie Brahe Gade was created by Christian Krøyer in the 1920s. The half-timbered building in the courtyard contained stables and room for several carriages. The upper floors served as servants quarters.
