Royal Stables, Royal stables in Slotsholmen, Denmark.
The Royal Stables form part of Christiansborg Palace complex, featuring marble pillars and sections dedicated to both riding horses and carriage horses.
Built between 1738 and 1745 by architects Elias David Häusser and Nicolai Eigtved, the stables replaced an older zigzag-shaped complex from the 16th century.
The stables maintain Danish equestrian traditions through regular horse training sessions and ceremonial transport during state events and royal occasions.
The facility houses approximately 20 horses, primarily Kladrubers and Danish Warmblood breeds, and includes a museum displaying state coaches and carriages.
In 1789, the Royal Stables reached their maximum capacity with 270 horses, supported by a staff of 152 people under King Christian V.
