Sorgenfri Palace

Sorgenfri Palace was built between 1705 and 1706 by Francois Dieussart for Count Carl Ahlefeldt.
The Palace has been property of the Royal Family since 1730.
King Frederik V gave the Palace to his aunt, Grand Duchess Sophie Caroline of East Friesland, when he became King in 1746. The Palace's main building was then demolished and a new Palace built in its place in 1756 and 1757.
Another renovation took place between 1791 and 1794 by the future Frederik VI.
In the time of King Christian X and his wife, Queen Alexandrine, Sorgenfri was the preferred summer residence of the Royal Family.
King Frederik IX and his brother Prince Knud were both born at the Palace.
