Fredensborg Palace, Royal palace in Fredensborg, Denmark.
The palace stands on the eastern shore of Lake Esrum, featuring symmetrical Baroque architecture with decorative corner pavilions and copper-roofed structures.
Frederick V commissioned the palace in 1753, selecting Johan Cornelius Krieger as the architect to create a summer residence for the Danish monarchy.
The palace gardens contain numerous sculptures by Johannes Wiedewelt, including the Valley of the Norsemen depicting Norwegian and Faroese farmers at work.
The palace opens its doors to visitors during specific months when the Danish royal family does not use it as their spring and autumn residence.
The octagonal courtyard includes the Red Wing, the sole crimson structure within the palace complex, which served as quarters for palace staff.
