Moltke Mansion, Baroque town mansion in Frederiksstaden, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Moltke Mansion is a baroque town palace on Bredgade in Frederiksstaden featuring nine bays and giant pilasters adorned with sandstone carvings including elephant and lion head motifs. The structure displays the ornate design typical of grand Copenhagen residences from the early 18th century.
The mansion was built between 1700 and 1702 for Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve, son of King Frederick III, replacing an earlier building from the 1680s. Its construction coincided with the development of Frederiksstaden as a new residential quarter for the nobility.
The Dronninggaard Salon contains wall paintings by Erik Pauelsen depicting landscapes such as the Hermitage Lodge and the Sound strait. These artworks reflect the aesthetic tastes of the wealthy residents who once lived here.
The mansion is currently managed by the Association of Craftsmen in Copenhagen, offering spaces for banquets, meetings, and small conferences. Access is primarily arranged for events and gatherings rather than regular tourism.
The mansion houses the Golden Hall, decorated with murals by Bjørn Nørgaard that narrate the story of craftsmanship through detailed illustrations. This artistic narrative connects the heritage of skilled trades with the building's current use as a crafts association venue.
