Four Kings, 1899

On the way to the antechamber one passes the so-called "Four Kings Picture", where the first four kings from the House of Glücksburg are gathered for the christening of Prince Frederik (IX).

Queen Ingrid

Queen of Denmark from 1947. Mother of HM Queen Margrethe II. Queen Ingrid and her husband Frederik IX have in many respects set an example for the Royal Family of Denmark. 

Christian IX

In 1863 Christian IX succeeded the childless Frederik VII as king, and was the first monarch from the House of Glücksburg line of The Royal Family.

Frederik IX

King of Denmark from 1947 and father of the current Danish monarch, HM Queen Margrethe II. Frederik IX was probably the most well-liked king of Denmark to this day and was among other things a skilled naval officer and classical conductor.

Prins Knud

Prince of Denmark. Son of Christian 10. and queen Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Married to his cousin, princess Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark. Between 1947 and 1953, heir to the danish throne.

The Garden Room

The Garden Room is the largest on this floor and is beautifully presented with golden silk wallpaper, a chandelier, and a porcelain stove of German origin.

Frederik VIII

Frederik VIII was to have just six years as monarch which were relatively undramatic. He is therefore a slightly overlooked figure in the Danish royal line.
