Christiansborg Ridebane, Royal riding ground at Slotsholmen, Denmark
The Christiansborg Ridebane features two symmetrical wings with stable buildings and a central courtyard next to Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.
Built between 1738 and 1745 by architects Elias David Häusser and Nicolai Eigtved, this riding ground remains the only preserved section from the first Christiansborg.
The Royal Stable Administration continues to use the riding arena and stables, maintaining Danish equestrian traditions at the heart of Copenhagen.
The complex houses facilities for the Danish Parliament and Supreme Court, while its theater section contains the Theater Museum.
In 1857, the Christiansborg Ridebane became the location of Denmark's first arc lamp installation, marking a technological advancement in street lighting.
