Hirschholm Palace, Royal palace ruins in Hørsholm, Denmark
The palace grounds contain the foundations and remnants of the original structure, which was built in the Baroque architectural style in 1744.
King Christian VI commissioned architect Lauritz de Thurah to design this summer residence for Queen Sophie Magdalene, establishing it as a significant royal estate.
The palace gained recognition as the North's architectural counterpart to Versailles, showcasing Denmark's royal aspirations through its grand design and formal gardens.
Visitors can explore the palace site year-round through marked paths that outline the original building's footprint and provide information about its historical layout.
Following the scandalous relationship between Queen Caroline Mathilda and Johann Struensee in the 1770s, the palace fell into decline and was demolished by 1813.
