Faaborg Apothek Lion - Fåborg Denmark - Lion Statues on Waymarking.com

Den gamle apoteksbygning i Mellemgade i Fåborg centrum. Over den sydlige frontspice er en gylden stenløve. Apoteket er af stor betydning for gadebilledet i denne del af byen, der udgør et velbevaret købstadsmiljø.

På den nordlige frontispice står der prentet 1737-1880. I 1737 oprettede Frederik Vette byens første apotek. Dengang var det en bindingsværksejendom, hvoraf kun fløjen mod Holkegade står tilbage. i 1880 blev resten erstattet af den nuværende ejendom.

Apoteker Berg satte en løve over indgangsdøren til apoteket, der dog først omkring 1940 blev døbt Faaborg Løve Apotek. Løven er bevaret, smukt forgyldt, som et minde om bygningens historiske funktion.

English: The old pharmacy building in Mellemgade in the center of Fåborg. Above the southern frontspice is a golden stone lion. The pharmacy is of great importance for the street scene in this part of the city, which constitutes a well-preserved market town environment.

On the northern frontispiece is printed 1737-1880. In 1737, Frederik Vette established the town's first pharmacy. At the time, it was a half-timbered property, of which only the wing towards Holkegade remains. in 1880 the remainder was replaced by the present property.

Apoteker Berg put a lion over the front door of the pharmacy, which, however, was not until around 1940 christened Faaborg Løve Apotek. The lion is preserved, beautifully gilded, as a reminder of the building's historic function.
