Frederiksberg Palace is a Baroque royal summer residence built by Frederik IV in the early 18th century, set on a hill at the top of Frederiksberg Gardens. The palace is not open to the public — it has served as a military academy since 1869 — but the exterior and the gardens around it are free to access and worth the walk up from the park.
The facade facing the garden is the most impressive side: a long, low Baroque building with yellow render and a central colonnaded section. Standing on the terrace with the garden stretching away below on a clear day, it is easy to understand why Danish royals chose this spot as their summer residence for more than a century. The palace appears on the reverse of the Danish 100-krone note.
