Royal Library Garden, Library garden in Slotsholmen, Denmark.
The Royal Library Garden features flower beds, large trees, and a central water basin bordered by Christiansborg Palace and the Royal Library buildings.
The garden was constructed in 1920 on the former site of Christian IV's naval port, incorporating an original mooring ring from the 17th century.
A bronze statue of philosopher Søren Kierkegaard stands in the garden, connecting to his manuscripts stored in the adjacent Royal Library collection.
The garden opens daily with multiple access points from Christiansborg's courtyard, providing benches under trees and along the National Archives wall.
An eight-meter copper column releases water every hour, while historic column plinths from the old Christiansborg decorate the garden corners.
