Brockdorff's Palace

Brockdorff's Palace

Brockdorff's Palace is one of the four palaces of Amalienborg in Copenhagen. It was built 1750-1760 by Baron Joachim Brockdorff. Since 1765 it has been owned by the crown, first used as naval academy and since 1828 as residence of various part of the royal family, among those King Frederik VIII. Therefore the palace is also known as Frederik VIII's Palace.

It is one of the two palaces facing the Amaliehaven waterfront, the other being the residence of the Queen and Prince Consort.

From 1947 until 1972 it was the official residence of King Frederik IX and H.M. Queen Ingrid. The Crown Prince moved into the Palace 1934, and it was in use by the late Queen until her death 2000.

It is under restoration scheduled to be finished by 2009, and will be the new home of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, thus official residence of the next King of Denmark.
