The site was formerly part of a much larger property, listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 14 in Købmager Quarter. On 24 July 1672, it was sold at auction to storkansler Conrad von Reventlow (1644–1708). The property was after his death in 1708 passed to his son Christian Detlev Reventlow (1671–1738). The buildings were destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728 but subsequently rebuilt. Christian Ditlev Reventlow owned the property until his death. It was after his death passed to his son Christian Ditlev Reventlow.{{cite web|url=https://slaegtsbibliotek.dk/931196.pdf|title=Københavns Ejendomme 1377-1728: Købmager Kvarter|language=Danish|website=Kulturstyrelsen|access-date=16 June 2022}}

The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 11 in Købmager Quarter. It was referred to as Reventlow's Hotel at that time. A large four-winged building complex surrounding a central courtyard occupied the half of the property that faced the more prominent street Købmagergade. The half of the property that faced the quieter street Pilestræde was the site of a large garden complex. A row of small properties separated the property from Klareboderne in the northwest.{{cite web|url=https://www.kobenhavnshistorie.dk/index.php/e-boger/22-bog/matrikel/166-koebmager|title=Københavnske Jævnførelsesregistre 1689-2008: Købmager Kvarter|language=Danish|website=Selskabet for Københavns Historie|access-date=13 November 2021}}

The three individual buildings are all five storeys tall and five bays wide. The interior of the three buildings is now completely integrated. Their plastered and grey-painted facades leave a homogenous impression, together with those of the adjacent buildings at Pilestræde 37{{ndash}}39, although details of their facades vary.

The ground floor of Pilestræde 41 is finished with shadow joints and black-painted. Above the ground floor is a band of black-painted sandstone. The upper part of the facade is finished with lateral lesenes, sill courses below the windows of the third and fourth floor and a modillion cornice. The slightly projecting central bay on the first to third floor is tipped by a hood mould supported by corbels above the third-floor window and features a plaster relief in an arched niche above the second-floor window and a mascaron above first-floor one. The Mansard roof is clad in black tile on its steep part and in red tile on its upper part. A three-bay side wing extends from the rear side of the building.

The facade of Pilestræde features a three-bay median risalit. The median risalit is on the first floor finished with shadow joints. The main entrance in the bay furthest to the right is topped by a hood mould supported by corbels. Another door in the bay furthest to the left provides access to the shop in the ground floor of Pilestræde 41. An eight-bays-long side wing extends from the rear side of the building. It has a monopitched roof clad in red tiles. The building shares a small courtyard with Pilestræde 43. A free-standing two-storey building with a flat roof is located in the courtyard. All the facades that face the yard are painted yellow.

The facade of Pilestræde is finished by a modillioned cornice. An eight-bays-long side wing extends from the rear side of the building. A two-storey former warehouse is located in the courtyard. It is attached to Kronprinsensgade 7 in one end to Klareboderne 16 in the other.

The three integrated buildings front the street and the two detached rear wings were all listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.

The building complex is owned by Jesper Abel and N. Skovgård Larsen. Some of the apartments in Pilestræde 43 and Pilestræde 45 have been merged. The principal staircase of Pilestræde is in addition to this now also used for access to the apartments in Pilestræde 41. Temains of the principal staircase in Pilestræde 41 are now instead used as an internal staircase in some of the apartments in that building. A Norse Projects flagship store is located at Pilestræde 41. The entrance is located in the bay furthest to the left at No. 43.
