Amalienborg Slot
Amalienborg Slot in northern Copenhagen is a Rococo-style palace built under King Frederik V's orders. Amalienborg Slot, which consists of four structures arranged around a central courtyard, was finished in 1760. The palace is now home to the Danish royal family, although it was originally home to wealthy families. Christian IX's Palace, Christian VII's Palace, Christian VIII's Palace (now the Amalienborg Museum), and Frederik VIII's Palace are the four buildings. Amalienborg Slot is now the winter residence of the Danish royals.
Visitors can explore parts of Amalienborg Slot, examining royal collections and items and admiring the Rococo design of the palace, especially the elaborate Knight's Chamber. The palace is open everyday from June to September and on an irregular basis the rest of the year — it's better to call ahead for exact hours.
The palace's entrance hall, which has been restored to its eighteenth-century state, is also remarkable. The sculpture of Frederik V in the middle courtyard is said to have cost as much as Amalienborg Slot itself.
