Prince's Mansion, Rococo mansion in Indre By, Denmark
Description
Prince's Mansion is a Rococo-style building in central Copenhagen featuring three wings arranged around a central courtyard and topped with a glass roof added in 1992. The structure displays characteristic Danish Rococo architectural details and stands along Frederiksholms Kanal.
History
The building began as the Michelbecker House in 1684 and was transformed by architect Nicolai Eigtved into a royal residence in 1744. It later housed the Supreme Court of Denmark following the Christiansborg Palace fire in 1794.
Culture
The building served as a royal residence and now houses the National Museum of Denmark, where visitors explore art and historical objects within its walls.
Practical
The building offers wheelchair-accessible entry through the main entrance and the glass-covered courtyard provides shelter in wet weather. The museum collections spread across multiple floors, so allow time to explore the layout.
