Yellow Palace, Copenhagen

The Yellow Palace, or Det Gule Palæ, is an 18th-century mansion located in the Frederiksstaden district of Copenhagen, Denmark, next to Amalienborg Palace. Recognized as the first example of Neoclassical architecture in the city, it was originally built for merchant Frederik Bargum between 1759 and 1764. The mansion became royal property in 1810 when King Frederick VI purchased it as a guest residence. Notably, it was home to Prince Christian of Glücksborg, who later became King Christian IX of Denmark, and his family. Today, the palace is owned by the Danish Palaces and Properties Agency and houses the Lord Chamberlain's Office, while its architecture and historical significance make it an intriguing site for tourists and researchers alike.
