Where did Hans Christian Andersen live in Copenhagen?

9 September 1866
The Melchior family lodged him at their country house in Østerbro, Rolighed (near the lime kiln) close to Gammel Kalkbrænderivej 60 2100 København Ø
and he died there where Nordhavn station is today

but Skt. Jakobs Kirke was not in use to 1878
so he was buried from Vor Frue kirke
