Amalienborg Castle

The sister palace of Rosenborg, Amalienborg, with its tranquil waterfront grounds is located in the Frederiksstaden neighborhood, less than 1.5 kilometers away from Rosenborg. When Christiansborg burned down in 1794, the Royal Family moved into the four palaces that face the plaza, which was first constructed as residences for the nobility. The palace was built on the site of the opulent summer residence that Queen Sophie Amalie once owned but burned down in 1689, giving rise to its name.

With the King as the center of attention and the nobility (the four palaces) surrounding him, the region was intended to be a model society. Today, the Moltke Palace is utilized for formal functions, and the top level of Christian IX Palace is home to Queen Margrethe II and her family. A distinctive icon of the city is the troops of the Royal Guard, who wear bearskins and blue uniforms (or red, white, and blue on certain occasions).
