Amalienborg Palace

The Amalienborg Palace is the residence of the Danish royal family in Copenhagen. It is composed of four rock-style buildings, made by the architect N. Eigtved between 1750 and 1768, as residence of different families of the Danish nobility. They became a royal residence in 1794 when a fire destroyed the Royal Palace of Copenhagen. The Danish Royal Family uses it as a winter residence. The four palaces that make up Amalienborg are Cristian VII Palace or Moltke Palace: it is the south-west palace, used for official visits. Christian Palace VIII or Levetzau Palace: it is the northwest palace, residence of the Prince Federico of Denmark until 2004. The Palace of Federico VIII or the Palace of Brockdorff: it is the northeastern palace, it was the residence of Queen Ingrid of Sweden until her death in 2000; it is being restored to become the residence of Prince Federico of Denmark. Palace of Cristian IX or Palace Schack: it is the south-east palace, residence of the sovereign since 1967. Usually only Christian VII and Christian VIII palaces are open to the public.
