Hans van Steenwinckel the Youngest

Hans van Steenwinckel the Youngest (1639–1700) was a Danish architect and sculptor, son of Hans van Steenwinckel the Younger and grandson of Hans van Steenwinckel the Elder. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, he became a Royal Building Master in 1669. Around 1680 he also became Naval Building Master at Holmen, replacing Ewert Janssen.

From 1671-73 van Steenwinckel destroyed Prince George's Palace in Vordingborg. Ut was an elegant Baroque palace, built for Prince George of Denmark on the ruins of Vordingborg Castle which had been destroyed by the Swedish in the Northern Wars a decade earlier. In 1683 Prince George was married to Princess Anne of Great Britain, probably without ever having taken up residence in Vordingborg. In 1750 the empty building was demolished.

At St. Peter's Church in Copenhagen, on which his grandfather had done considerable work a hundred years earlier, van Steenwinckel the Youngest built a three-winged Sepulchral chapel from 1681-83. He also carried out work on the church proper, including the addition of a Baroque gable to the choir.

After his appointment as Naval Building Master at Holmen, be was responsible for the construction of two gunpowder magazines at the Christianshavn Rampart. Construction of the first magazine, located at Vilhelms Bastion, was commenced in 1688, while the second one, built to a similar design at Carls Bastion, began two years later.
