Ruinerne under Christiansborg

So the castle that stands today is the third rendition as the first two perished in fires. The…read moreoldest ruins under the castle date back to the 12th century and is a very evident ring wall that protected Bishop Absalon's castle. After being demolished, Copenhagen Castle was erected as a stronghold. The castle was rebuilt in 1369 by Christian IV and redone several times by the following successors. It was completely torn down and rebuilt by Christian VI in 1745. This was when the first evidence of the medieval ruins were discovered. This castle was not around long either, as a fire took it in 1794. The Christiansborg was built a second time in the early 1800's but did not fair much better as it was lost to fire in 1884. The current Christiansborg was designed in the neo-baroque style and the ruins made accessible to the public in 1924. If you learn anything from this, let it be that persistence (combined with modern heating alternatives) finally pays off! This was by far my favorite part of the castle that we toured as it was so unique to other castle tour experiences. The dimly lit rooms with the artifacts amidst the rubble makes you feel like you are being transported into another world. The informative placards tell the history as well as stories of the past. This combined with random little artifacts, including some little kitty paws imprinted in stone, make this a pretty neat experience This exhibit is also included with the Copenhagen Card if you happen to have one. If you are planning a trip to Christiansborg, I wouldn't want to miss the ruins!

We hadn't heard of the ruins, but were nearby and noticed entry was included with our tourist…read moretransportation cards. Why not check it out? (Gift shop at entrance/exit) Pretty cool place. Larger than I expected, lots of historical info along the route underground, an interesting, kinda creepy setting...albeit slightly claustrophobic. It didn't take long to tour, I'm estimating we were probably down there for 30-45 minutes maybe, granted although we wandered the entire path we didn't stop to read every display.

Christianborg Palace is unique in that actually houses rooms that are used by the monarchy, the…read moreSupreme Court, the Prime Minister and the Parliament. For the purposes of tourists, only the royal section related to the monarchy is open for exploration. The ticket that you purchase depends on how many parts of the royal section you wish to visit: 1) Reception room - where the Queens holds meetings 2) Royal Stables - where the horses and carriages are held 3) Royal Kitchen - where the meals are prepared 4) Ruins - the ruins underneath the castle If you have more time, you can see all of them. For me, the best part was easily the Reception area, where you will see many rooms constructed with very colorful and exquisite architecture and filled with luxurious paintings, furniture, and tapestries. This area is so fancy they actually make all visitors wear blue shoe covers to protect the floors. It is also worth it to go up the tower (free entry) where you get amazing views of the city.

What a place, just beautiful overall. Love layout, the architecture, the arts, the furnitures,…read morejust everything is simply amazing to be admired. My favorite room is the library, just simply magnificent & magical. The bookcase from both floors, the lighting, the chandeliers...just mesmerizing. This is one of A MUST to checkout for sure. I would come back and get lost into this world and this place again.
