Grevinde Danners Palæ

Grevinde Danners Palæ is a winter palace in Rudersdal with a balanced facade of thirteen bays and white walls topped by a blue-tiled roof. The building sits directly on Skodsborg Strandvej and displays the classical style that architect Peter Kornerup designed in the 19th century.

The estate was purchased in 1852 and then expanded from its original smaller form. This renovation defined it as a significant royal residence during the 19th century.

The palace takes its name from the countess who made this her home and shaped its story. It shows how wealthy families of the 19th century built seaside retreats away from city life and society.

The building has been completely renovated and now serves as office and meeting spaces while maintaining its protected status. Keep in mind that this is a private building, so access may be limited.

The king preferred to sleep in a garden tent beside the palace while the countess lived in the main building. This unusual arrangement reveals the personal preferences of both residents and their relationship to the place.
