Yes, they have an apartment at Amalienborg Castle in Copenhagen.

Is it a palace, castle or something else? I am confused as to what the "manor house" really is.

Yes, there is a hotel owned by the couple right beside the castle: 'Schackenborg Slotskro'.

I have a wonderfull book on all danish royal castles. There is some good pics of parts of the interior of the castle. I haven't seen these pictures online.

I can scan them, but I wouldn't know, how to post them. I think, they will be large in kb.

If anyone can help me how to post them, please let me know.

Joachim got the palace when he was very young, 9 or something like that I think?
He and Alexandra lived there together from their engagement/marriage in 1995

where on the estate does alexandra parents live

and wonder if the monogram will change

[norwegianne]

It has been stated that the monogram will remain. (Though, I'm certain that if Joachim remarries, some action will be taken...)

Schackenborg seems like a perfect place to grow up in.

[rchainho]

Yes, it seems good to live in.

Joachim lives 320km from Copenhagen (near the german border) and Frederik lives 45km from Copenhagen. Is that right?

Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik bought it for him in 1978, if memory serves me right. He took over in 1993, but didn't move in until after the marriage to Alexandra in 1995. So, about ten years.
