Christiansborg; A Center of Power

Located on Slotsholmen island, Christiansborg Palace has been the political heart of Denmark since its establishment as a castle in 1167. It was founded by Bishop Absalon and has undergone several reconstructions due to fires.

The current structure, finished in 1928, is notable for its Neo-baroque architecture. The palace serves the Danish monarchy, featuring royal reception rooms and the Supreme Court. It is unique in that it houses all three branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial.
