Amalienborg Palace is the winter residence of the Danish monarch.
The Palace consists of four palaces planned around an octagonal courtyard, in the centre which stands an equestrian statue of Frederik V (founder of Amalienborg Palace).
The Palace was constructed on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the coronation of the first King of the House of Oldenborg, Christian I. The four palaces were designed by Nicolai Eigtved, the court architect.
The four palaces are:
Christian VII's Palace (originally called Moltke's Palace)
Christian VIII's Palace (originally known as Levetzau's Palace)
Frederik VIII's Palace (originally known as Brockdorff's Palace)
Christian IX's Palace (originally known as Schack's Palace)
