The number of castles and palaces of Denmark is big and some of them are in Copenhagen. One of them is Amalienborg, the winter home of the Danish royal family. It consists of four identical classicizing palace façades with rococo interiors around an octagonal courtyard (Amalienborg Slotsplads); in the centre of the square is a monumental equestrian statue of Amalienborg's founder, King Frederick V. Amalienborg was originally built for four noble families; however, when Christiansborg Palace burnt down on 26 February 1794, the royal family bought the palaces and moved in.
Christian VII's Palace is also known as Moltke's Palace, and was originally built for Lord High Steward Adam Gottlob Moltke. Immediately after the Christiansborg Palace fire in March 1794 and two years after the death of the original owner, the palace was sold to the royal family, headed by the schizophrenic King Christian VII. It was the first of the four palaces to be sold to the royal family.
Christian VIII's Palace is also known as Levetzau's Palace, and was originally built for Privy Councillor Count Christian Frederik Levetzau in 1750-1760. The family set one condition when they sold the building— that the Count’s coat of arms should never be removed from the building. It can still be seen beside that of the monarch's. The King's half-brother Frederik bought the palace in 1794 and modernized the interiors in the new French Empire style. The palace was named Christian VIII’s Palace after his son, Christian Frederik, who grew up in the palace, took over the building in 1805 upon the death of his father, and would become king in 1839. In the 1980s the palace was restored as residence for the Crown Prince, storage facilities for the Queen’s Reference Library and a museum for the Royal House of Glücksborg. The museum features private royal apartments from 1863-1947 including original fittings and furnishings.
Frederick VIII's Palace is also known as Brockdorff's Palace. It was originally built for Count Joachim Brockdorff in the 1750s. Brockdorff died in 1763, and Lord High Steward Adam Gottlob Moltke acquired the palace. Moltke sold it two years later to Frederick V. From 1767 it housed the Military Academy. The following year the palace was prepared to house Christian VIII’s son, Frederick VII, who ascended the throne in 1848. In 1869 it became the home of Frederick VIII. In 1934 it became the home of King Frederick IX and Queen Ingrid.
Christian IX's Palace is also known as Schack's Palace. It was originally commissioned by Privy Councillor Severin Løvenskjold, but in 1754 he had to give up due to economic difficulties. The project was taken over by Countess Anne Sophie Schack. It was later the home of Christian IX until his death in 1906.

Numărul castelelor şi palatelor ce pot fi vizitate în Danemarca este impresionant. Doar în capitală se pot vizita câteva şi unul dintre ele este Amalienborg, locaţia de iarnă a familiei regale, un ansamblu de patru palate cu faţade identice situate pe patru din cele opt laturi ale pieţei în formă de octogon. Chiar în centrul pieţei este statuia ecvestră a regelui Frederick al V-lea, fondatorul palatelor. Iniţial a fost construit pentru patru familii nobiliare dar a fost cumpărat de familia regală în 1794 când a ars palatul Christiansborg.
Palatul Cristian al VII-lea, numit şi Moltke, a fost construit pentru lordul Adam Gottlob Moltke. Familia regală s-a mutat aici în 1794, rege fiind Cristian al VII-lea, bolnav de schizofrenie.
Palatul Cristian al VIII-lea, numit şi Levetzau, a fost proprietatea contelui Christian Frederik Levetzau. A fost vândut dar s-a impus ca blazonul familiei să nu fie îndepărtat. Fratele vitreg al lui Cristian al VII-lea a cumpărat proprietatea în 1794 şi a fost modernizat în stilul Empire. Numele este dat în onoarea fiului, viitorul rege Cristian al VIII-lea care a copilărit în acest loc. Astăzi se pot vizita apartamentele regale.
Palatul Frederick al VIII-lea este cunoscut şi ca Brockdorff, după contele Joachim Brockdorff. A fost vândut în 1763 lordului Moltke şi apoi a ajuns în proprietatea familiei regale care a organizat acolo în 1767 Academia Militară. A devenit casa lui Frederick al VII-lea şi apoi a regelui Frederick al VIII-lea din 1869. Tot aici au locuit şi regele Frederick al IX-lea şi soţia lui regina Ingrid.
Palatul Cristian al IX-lea se numeşte şi Schack şi a fost construit în partea de sud-est a pieţei pentru contesa Anne Sophie Schack. A fost casa regelui Cristian al IX-lea până la moartea lui în 1906.
Palatul Cristian al VII-lea, numit şi Moltke, a fost construit pentru lordul Adam Gottlob Moltke. Familia regală s-a mutat aici în 1794, rege fiind Cristian al VII-lea, bolnav de schizofrenie.
