Skansepalæet, Residential building in Frederiksbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark.
The red brick Skansepalæet stands on a granite foundation, featuring a seven-story tower, multiple dormer windows, and decorated balconies along its facade.
Built in 1908 by architect Hjalmar Kjær, the building initially served as a hotel for the Danish National Exhibition of 1909 before converting to apartments.
The name Skansepalæet refers to a 1627 fortification established by Albrecht von Wallenstein during the military occupation of Aarhus in the Thirty Years' War.
The structure at Standvejen 34-36 and Heibergsgade 25-27 now functions as a resident-owned apartment complex with modern amenities including central heating.
The 2011-2012 additions include community facilities designed by Peter Skjalm from RUM3 studio, enhancing the residential experience with new tool sheds and playgrounds.
