Marselisborg Palace, Royal castle in Aarhus, Denmark.

The palace features a neoclassical design with maritime motifs, displaying seagull carvings on windows and seashell decorations on the entrance door.

Built between 1899 and 1902, the palace was a wedding gift from Danish citizens to Prince Christian and Duchess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

The palace gardens contain numerous sculptures, including works created by Prince Henrik, displayed throughout the 13-hectare English-style landscape.

The garden opens from 8 AM to 9 PM during summer months and 9 AM to 4 PM in winter, except when the royal family occupies the residence.

The Royal Life Guard performs a daily changing ceremony at noon whenever members of the royal family stay at the palace.
