Charlottenlund Palace 2024
Charlottenlund Palace (Danish: Charlottenlund Slot) has been expanded with several extensions since 1865 when Ferdinand Richardt made a drawing of it (see the previous photo in the photostream).
The palace is a former royal summer residence and was named after Princess Charlotte Amalie. She was given the first house on the estate and had it replaced with the original palace.
In 1869, Crown Prince Frederick and his wife Lovisa of Sweden took over the palace. Both Christian X of Denmark and Haakon VII of Norway were born in the building. In 1880-81, Ferdinand Meldahl undertook a major rebuilding of the palace. One extension was made on each gable. The central hall with the dome and lantern were also added.
The royal family discontinued using the palace in 1935 and made it available to the Danish Biological Station. The Great Hall is occasionally used for classical concerts.
