Frederiks Hospital, der blev opført 1757 midt i Frederiksstaden i København, var Danmarks første egentlige hospital. Det blev drevet som en selvejende institution med det formål at yde ubemidlede fri kur og pleje. Driften blev finansieret af overskuddet fra det norske postvæsen. En kongelig resolution dateret 22. december 1756 dikterede således, at det norske postvæsens overskud i al evighed skulle gå til Frederiks Hospital.

Hospitalets mest prominente patient var filosoffen Søren Kierkegaard, der døde på Hospitalet den 11. november 1855 i en alder af 42 år. Den egentlige dødsårsag kendes ikke, men sygdomsforløbet var præget af partielle, men stadig mere omfattende lammelser.

I 1910 blev Hospitalet overdraget til staten og flyttede under navnet Rigshospitalet til Blegdamsvej på Østerbro. Rigshospitalet regner sin historie fra Frederiks Hospitals grundlæggelse og kunne derfor fejre 250 års jubilæum i 2007.

Fredriks Hospitals bygninger står der endnu. De består af 4 ens barokpalæer (2 i Bredgade og 2 i Amaliegade) tegnet af Nicolai Eigtved og fuldført af Eremitageslottets arkitekt Lauritz de Thurah. De omkranser sengeafdelingen, der i dag huser Kunstindustrimuseet. Barokpalæerne kaldes også pavilloner. De to pavilloner i Bredgade huser i dag Sø- og Handelsretten og Medicinsk Museion, mens de to pavilloner i Amaliegade huser et pensionsselskab og advokatfirmaet Lassen Ricard, der er førende i Skandinavien inden for immaterialret.

Cachen ligger tæt på indgangen i Amaliegade, der er kendetegnet af et højt gitter. Om dette gitter skriver H.C. Andersen i Lykkens Galosker (1838):

"Enhver Kjøbenhavner veed nu, hvorledes Indgangen til Frederiks Hospital i Kjøbenhavn seer ud, men da rimeligviis ogsaa nogle Ikke-Kjøbenhavnere læse dette ringe Skrift, maae vi give en kort Beskrivelse. Hospitalet er skilt fra Gaden ved et temmeligt høit Gitter, i hvilket de tykke Jernstænger staae saa vidt fra hinanden, at der fortælles, at meget tynde Candidater skulle have klemt sig igjennem og saaledes gjort deres smaa Visiter ud. Den Deel af Legemet, der faldt vanskeligst at practisere ud, blev Hovedet; her, som tidt i Verden, vare altsaa de smaa Hoveder de lykkeligste. Dette vil være nok, som Indledning."

Frederik's Hosptal, which was built in the year 1757 in Frederiksstaden in Copenhagen, was Denmark's first real hospital. It was an independant institution with the purpose to provide persons without means with treatment and care. The operation was financed by profits from the Norwegian mail services (Norway was under Danish control until 1814). The Hospital's most prominent patient was the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard who died at the Hospital on November 11, 1855, at the age of 42.

In 1910 the Hospital was handed over to the state, became the State University Hospital and moved to Østerbro. The State University Hospital counts its history from the founding of Frederik's Hospital and, therefore, celebrated its 250th birthday in 2007.

The buildings og Frederik's Hospital exist today. They consist of 4 baroque Mansions (2 at Bredgade and 2 at Amaliegade) surrounding the Museum of Art and Design. One of the mansions at Amaliegade houses the Maritime and Commercial Court, and one of the mansions at Amaliegade houses the law firm Lassen Ricard which is leading in Scandinavia within copyright.

The cache is located close to the Amaliegade entrance which is characterized by a high high railing of heavy iron bars. Hans Christian wrote the following about the railing in "The Galosches of Fortune" (1838):

"Everyone in Copenhagen knows what the entrance to Frederic's Hospital looks like, but as some of the people who read this story may not have been to Copenhagen, we must describe the building-briefly.The hospital is fenced off from the street by a rather high railing of heavy iron bars, which are spaced far enough apart-at least so the story goes-for very thin internes to squeeze between them and pay little visits to the world outside. The part of the body they had most difficulty in squeezing through was the head. In this, as often happens in the world, small heads were the most successful. So much for our description."
