This palace serves as the Danish Supreme Court and the Danish Prime Minister s Office apart from being the functioning center of the Danish Parliament. Parts of the palace such as the palace chapel, Royal Reception Rooms and the royal stables are used by the royal family. Christiansborg Palace is thus home to Denmark s judicial power, legislative power and executive power. Currently this Danish State owned palace is run by Palaces and Properties Agency. Since the first castle was constructed on this site in 1167, it underwent many reconstructions and refurbishments. All buildings constructed here right from the early 15th century continued to serve as the home of central administration. Danish kings resided here till 1794 after which it functions as the seat of parliament since Two fires destroyed the palace during the course of time, one in 1794 and the other in 1884, as a result of which you can find three different Danish architectural influences in the building. You will find the palace s main portion constructed in the Neo-baroque style. The present version of the palace was completed in Today tourists from across the world come here to enjoy the unique ambience and atmosphere at this famous palace in Copenhagen.

5 Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 5 - D) The Old Stock Exchange (must see) One of the greatest builders and architects of Copenhagen, King Christian IV constructed the Old Stock Exchange building. This is the oldest building in the city that served as a trade and financial center. The Danish stock market functioned in this building till 1974 after which it was relocated to modern facilities. King Christian IV constructed this impressive building right at the entrance of Copenhagen where it continues to serve as a prestigious landmark. The building stands as a testimony to the wealth and development of the city and was especially built to impress foreign as well as Danish merchants arriving from the sea. The building was mortgaged to Jacob Madsen, a Danish merchant by King Christian IV to pay off his debts. King Frederik III bought back the building which was again sold by King Frederik VII in 1857 to the Merchant s Guild. The Old Stock Exchange remained with the Merchant s Guild and gained in popularity as the oldest preserved building in the city. Since 1987, this building has been serving as the Danish Chamber of Commerce. You will find an amazing spire with four dragons in this building designed in Dutch Renaissance Style. The three crowned spear at the end of the twisting tails represents the friendship and cooperation between Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The Old Stock Exchange building is 60 meter tall and is the only building that has survived all of Copenhagen s great fires. Address: Borsgade, Christianhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark Image Courtesy of Flickr and Ewan-M E) Royal Library (must see) One of the most impressive libraries in the Nordic countries is the Royal Library in Copenhagen. This is Denmark s national library and is also used by the University of Copenhagen. At this library you will find a rich collection of historical treasures collected meticulously from the 17th Century. Generous donations through ages have helped sustain this library that has on display the first ever Danish book. This book was printed in 1482 and is a part of an extensive collection that includes almost all books printed in this language. Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 5 -

Address: Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1, Copenhagen, Denmark Image Courtesy of Wikimedia and Arne List F) Danish Royal Arsenal Museum The old Arsenal was constructed by Christian IV and today houses the Danish Royal Arsenal Museum. The arsenal was a storehouse of hand weapons and canons. This is one of the very few buildings in Denmark used for the specific purpose it was originally built for. The way in which renaissance was centralized in Copenhagen and extended the Royal power is commemorated by this monumental building.
