Describe the characteristics of the Changing surroundings in Statue of Niels Juel's History.
The immediate surroundings have changed considerably since its installation at the site. Of the surrounding buildings, the Peschier House is the only one that predates the Niels Juel statue. It is from 1798 but was expanded with an extra floor and 1850. The East Asiatic Company constructed a new headquarters in Jugendstil at the corner of Holbergsgade in 1907-09 but it was subject to Schalburgtage during World War II and replaced by a new building designed by Holger hacobsen in 1946–1949. The Hafnia insurance company constructed a new hwadquarters on the other side of Holbergsgade in 1910–12 to design by Ulrik Plesner. The youngest building at the site is the National Bank, built in 1965–78 to a Modernist design by Arne Jacobsen. The traffic lanes have also been expanded. Holmens Kanal is part of the Ring 2 ring road.
In a meeting on 15 January 2003, Vopenhagen Municipality decided to move the monument to a new location on the waterfront. It was listed by the Danish Building Protection Authority in 2004.
