Palaces

HM The Queen and HRH The Prince Consort reside at various royal palaces. In winter, the Royal Couple reside at Amalienborg, whereas their residence in spring and autumn is Fredensborg Palace. In summer, the Queen and the Prince Consort reside at Marselisborg Palace, Graasten Palace or on the Royal Yacht Dannebrog. Most of the palaces are historically the property of the Royal House. However, with the introduction of the Constitution in 1849, the palaces passed to the Kingdom of Denmark. The Palaces and Properties Agency is responsible for the management and maintenance of many of the royal palaces and gardens. Some of the palaces are the private property of the Royal Family.
