Roskilde Royal Mansion, Royal Baroque museum and exhibition venue in central Roskilde, Denmark.
The mansion displays yellow-washed masonry walls and red tile roofs with two floors in the main wing and single-story lateral wings.
Construction of the mansion started in 1733 under King Christian VI, replacing a medieval bishop's palace that previously occupied the location.
The mansion houses art exhibitions throughout its rooms, gardens, and courtyards while serving as the official residence of the Bishop of Roskilde.
The mansion connects directly to Roskilde Cathedral through the Gate of Absalon, making it accessible from both the city center and cathedral grounds.
During the 1807 siege of Copenhagen, General Arthur Wellesley, future Duke of Wellington, established his military headquarters in this mansion.
