Toldbodgade 9 is a half-timbered building situated in the Nyhavn Quarter of central Copenhagen, Denmark. For about 50 years, from the 1800s until his death in 1852, the property belonged to Henning Hansen Rønne, a skipper from Bornholm, who for a period was alderman of the Skipper's Guild in Copenhagen. The building was later for a while operated as a hotel under the name Hotel Helsingborg. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. In 1953, the building was bought by art dealer Viggo Clausen, who subsequently converted it into an art gallery under the name Claussens Kunsthandel. In 2018, Claussens Kunsthandel relocated to new premises at Studiestræde 14. A restaurant administration is now located in the building.
