Støvlet-Cathrine's House is at Slagelsevej 63 in Sorø. Legend has it that King Christian VII bought the house for his mistress, Anne Cathrine Benthagen. She was nicknamed Støvlet-Cathrine (Bootee-Cathrine) because her mother sewed bootees that Cathrine delivered to customers. Støvlet-Cathrine's House was originally called Gammel Sølyst, but its name changed when she moved in. In the 1780s, the house was converted into an estate covering about 12 acres of land. Photographer Richard Hansen bought the property in 1901. And in 1961 it threw open its doors as a café called Kongebrohuset. It has been a restaurant since 1986.
