Proviantgården, Historic naval provisions building in Slotsholmen, Denmark.
The Proviantgården spans 163 meters in length with two stories and thick brick walls measuring over two meters, situated between Christiansborg and the Royal Library.
Built in the early 1600s under Christian IV's naval harbor project, the structure served as a provisions depot and experienced three major fires in 1626, 1719, and 1992.
The building now functions as office space for Folketinget members and contains reading rooms for the National Archives of Copenhagen, connecting Denmark's past with present.
Visitors can access the structure through Proviantpassagen, which links Rigsdagsgården to Christians Brygge waterfront along the western side of the building.
The building's original walls remain intact despite multiple fires, demonstrating the durability of 17th-century Danish construction methods and materials.
