Sorgenfri Palace, Royal palace in Lyngby-Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark.
The palace consists of a central building with a copper-clad cupola and two symmetrical wings surrounded by formal gardens and parkland.
Initially constructed in 1705 by François Dieussart for Count Carl von Ahlefeldt, the palace underwent major reconstruction in 1756 under architect Lauritz de Thurah.
The palace grounds include memorial monuments dedicated to Danish poet Viggo Stuckenberg and women's rights advocate Gyrithe Lemche within its 40-hectare park.
While the palace building remains closed to visitors, the surrounding gardens and park areas remain open for public exploration throughout the year.
The palace features two distinctive garden pavilions designed by Nicolai Abildgaard, named The Swiss House and The Norwegian House.
