Christiansborg Palace

Christiansborg Palace is a government palace located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It serves as the central hub for all three branches of power in Denmark: the executive, judiciary, and legislative authorities. The palace houses the Prime Minister's office, the Parliament, and the Supreme Court, making it the ministerial center of the Danish government.

Constructed in three stages starting from 1745, Christiansborg Palace exhibits a Baroque (Neoclassical) architectural style. The history of the palace's construction began with the Copenhagen Castle. Over time, several architectural additions were made to the castle. However, it was found that the castle couldn't withstand the test of time, as its walls and roofs deteriorated and collapsed. Architects concluded that the only way to rebuild it was to demolish and construct a new palace in its place. As a result, Frederick IV ordered the construction of a new palace.
