Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fredensborg Palace was built as a hunting seat for King Frederik IV by the architect J.C. Krieger in 1719. The main building was inaugurated in 1722 and the chapel in 1726.

It was rebuilt and extended during the reigns of King Christian VI, and King Frederik V and his Queen Juliane Marie by the architects N.Eigtved, L de Thurah and C.F. Harsdorf.

After Queen Juliane Marie’s death in 1796 the Palace was rarely used. It was not until the reign of King Christian 9. and Queen Louise that the Palace became the setting for the life of the Royal Family for lengthy periods. “Europe’s parents-in-law” gathered their daughters and sons-in-law, all of whom represented many of Europe’s Royal and Princely Houses, at Fredensborg Palace every summer. Now the present Royal Family uses the palace for three months in the spring and three in the autumn.

Fredensborg Palace is often the setting for important events in the life of the Royal Family. It is here they celebrate weddings, silver wedding anniversaries and birthdays. The Queen receives Heads of State from all over the world at Fredensborg during State Visits. Here too Ambassadors of foreign countries present their credentials to the Queen. When foreign Heads of State spend the night at the palace, there is an old tradition that the State Visitor scratches his or her name with a diamond on a pane of window glass, as people mischievously in did in days gone by.
