Amalienborg and Frederiksstaden: The Palace and the Royal Quarter

By Jens Gunni Busck and Joan F. Davidson

This book tells the story of Amalienborg and Frederiksstaden and the royal residents of the palace over the centuries. Amalienborg's palace square constitutes the central square of the monumental quarter of Frederiksstaden, which Frederik V had built starting in about 1750. The four palaces of the nobility that make up the palace complex were built simultaneously, but were taken over by the royal family after Christiansborg Palace burned down in 1794. Since 1920 Amalienborg has been the permanent residence of the Danish monarchy.
