Amalienborg (Copenhagen)
Amalienborg Palace is named after Frederik
III's Queen, Sophie Amalie, who had the Sophie Amalienborg Palace built
on the site in 1667-1673. The Palace burned down in 1689, but the Palace
garden remained until 1748, when it had to make way for Frederiksstaden,
the new part of the city Frederik V had laid out on the occasion of
the 300 years anniversary of the Oldenburg line.
The buildings have housed the Danish royal family since
1784, and two of them still serve as royal residences. Changing of the
guard takes place every day at noon outside the palace of the present
queen, Margrethe II. Some of the official and private rooms have been
opened to the public, the latest of which to be shown is the study of
Frederik IX and King Christian IX (1818-1906) and the drawing room of
his wife, Queen Louise, which are filled with family presents, photographs,
and the occasional Faberge treasure.
Open May-Oct daily
