Amalienborg Palace (Danish: Amalienborg Slot) is the home of the Danish royal family, and has been since the fire of Christiansborg in 1794. It consists of four similar palaces around an octagonal space, originally built for four noble families.
The four palaces
- Christian VII's Palace, or Moltke's Palace - the southwestern palace, is used to accommodate and entertain guests
- Christian VIII's Palace, or Levetzau's Palace - the northwestern palace, was the home of Crown Prince Frederik until 2004
- Frederik VIII's Palace, or Brockdorff's Palace - the northeastern palace, was the home of Queen Ingrid until her death in 2000, and is currently being restored and will be the home of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess
- Christian IX's Palace, or Schack's Palace - the southeastern palace, has been the home of the royal couple since 1967
