Frederiksberg Palace, Baroque palace in Frederiksberg Municipality, Denmark

The three-story H-shaped palace features grand Italian baroque architecture with symmetrical wings encircling a central courtyard and overlooks expansive gardens.

King Frederick IV initiated the construction of this palace in 1699 as a summer residence, with major extensions completed between 1733 and 1738.

The palace chapel in the east wing, inaugurated in 1710, represents Danish baroque religious architecture with its period-specific interior design elements.

The Royal Danish Military Academy operates within the palace since 1869, offering guided tours that explain the building's architectural and historical elements.

Russian Czar Peter the Great visited the palace in 1716, marking a significant diplomatic connection between Danish and Russian monarchies of the period.
