The Dannebrog

This Danish royal yacht serves as an official and private residence for the Danish Queen and other members of the royal family when they are on summer cruises in home waters or on official visits overseas. Made in the naval work yard Orlogsvaerftet, Copenhagen, in 1931, the ship was baptised by Queen Alexandrine, the wife of King Christian X. The yacht has a rich history, with many decades of royalty aboard. King Frederick IX is known to have taken his showers on the boat's bridge, hosed down by a member of his team. It has been anchored in almost every port in Denmark, as well as Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and all the way to the coastline of the US; training around 30 Danish naval conscripts every year. Based on the design of the floating palaces of the XIX century, the Dannebrog is more than just a boat.

The largest privately owned super yacht in the world, this 180-metre vessel was built for Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi’s royal family, for use as a day boat to reach his favourite diving grounds. The boat can hold 36 guests and as many as 80 crew members - it also includes a gym, pool and a special ‘golf training room’. It is reported to have cost the sovereign approximately 600 million dollars. Filled with luxury, the engineers apparently worked to ensure that there is as little turbulence as possible, so that the chandeliers don’t tinkle at sea. Its record is soon to be beaten by a new yacht: the REV Ocean. A vessel which, at 183 metres, was designed by Norwegian millionaire Kjell Inge Rokke, and has been created to clean the ocean floors.

HMY Britannia

HMS Britannia 

Built in 1953 for the late Queen Elizabeth II (who was crowned that same year), after 44 years of service the HMS Britannia was decommissioned and is now on display in Edinburgh. The vast and lavishly designed yacht has sailed over one million miles, accommodating 968 official royal visits. The regal vessel was once described by Queen Elizabeth as ‘the one place where I can truly relax’. The boat boasts dining rooms adorned with gifts from around the world, including a whale rib found by her husband on a beach, as well as a sun lounge with furniture chosen by the queen, and a garage built to house the royal Rolls-Royce. Sir Winston Churchill, Boris Yeltsin, Rajiv Gandhi and Nelson Mandela are among those who have joined the Queen on board over the years. Four royal honeymoons have also taken place aboard, including King Charles III and Diana, Princess of Wales's 16-day trip to the Mediterranean in 1981.

Le Norge is the pride of the Norwegian royal family, dating back to 1947. In 1905, after the Norwegians became independent from Sweden, they chose Prince Carl of Denmark as their monarch, proposing to him the yacht on his appointment. However, due to the difficult economic situation in Norway after the dissolution of the union with Sweden, King Haakon VII (formerly Prince Carl) did not call upon the Government to provide a yacht. Instead, the yacht was given as a gift from the people of Norway to their king decades later, purchased after the spread of a nationwide collection effort. The ship, which measures 80 metres in length is maintained by the Royal Norwegian Navy and sets sail during the summer months. It suffered a violent fire in 1985 while under maintenance, with only the shell and the motors saved from the incident. The impressive ship has since been entirely reconstructed.

Owned by Princess Caroline of Hanover, Pacha III has been passed from hand to hand since it was first put on water in 1936, under the name Arlette II. The 36-metre-long boat has had very many owners: in 1940 it was requisitioned by the Royal Navy, when it went back to the Mediterranean coast under the name Priamar. And in the '50s it was bought by French industrialist Louis Renault, who renamed it Briseis. The yacht was then sold to the painter Bernard Buffet, in 1967, who moored it in Saint-Tropez, in front of the ever glamorous L'Escale restaurant. 

In 1990, by now in a depleted state, it was sold to Stefano Casiraghi and Caroline of Hanover, who had it entirely renovated. Casiraghi was never able to enjoy the yacht, however, after he died during a racing accident that same year. It reportedly took more than two years to restore the vessel to its former splendour and renamed Pacha III (in reference to the initials of Princess Caroline’s children). It is now primarily used to take the Hanover Royal Family on extended Mediterranean escapes.

The Royal Yacht: History

The Norwegian Royal Yacht Norge is one of the world’s two remaining royal yachts. The other is the Danish Royal Yacht Dannebrog , since the British Royal Yacht Britannia was decommissioned in 1997.

In 1905 the Norwegian Government formally invited Prince Carl of Denmark to become the king of Norway. The proposal included the promise of a royal yacht, financed by the state and placed at the king’s disposal. However, due to the difficult economic situation in Norway after the dissolution of the union with Sweden, King Haakon (formerly Prince Carl) did not call upon the Government to provide a yacht.

Gift from the people

Not until after WWII did the question of a royal yacht arise again. The Norwegian press appealed to the people to raise the funds necessary to present King Haakon with a yacht on the occasion of his 75th birthday. In July 1947, the British motor yacht Philante was purchased for NOK 1.5 million.

The Philante was built in England in 1937 for the British aircraft manufacturer Thomas Sopwith. At the time it was one of the largest vessels of its kind. Sopwith used the yacht as a base when competing in regattas. In fact, the Philante first entered Norwegian waters in 1938 in connection with a regatta at Hankø in Eastern Norway.

The name Philante is an amalgam of the owner’s wife’s name, Phyllis, and the owner’s name, Thomas: Phil (short for “Phyllis”) + an (short for “and”) + t (for “Thomas) + e (to add an extra syllable).

Convoy escort vessel

After the outbreak of WWII the British Royal Navy requisitioned the Philante . First used as an escort vessel for convoys crossing the Atlantic, it was put into service as a school ship for training convoy escorts in 1942. The ship was returned to Thomas Sopwith in 1946 and sold to Norway the following year.

Renovation of the ship

The ship needed to be refurbished before it could be used, so King Haakon was given a model of the yacht on his 75th birthday. In particular, the interior of the ship required extensive refitting, and architect Finn Nilsson was asked to be the designer. On 17 May 1948 the ship’s captain, Commander Christian Monsen, raised the command pennant for the first time, and on 9 June the Royal Yacht was handed over to King Haakon.

The ship was christened the Norge .

The Royal Yacht

In the years that followed, King Haakon used the Royal Yacht to visit communities along the coast of Norway and to travel abroad. In June 1955 the King paid a visit to Molde in Western Norway. It was to be his final voyage on the Norge.

King Olav took over the ship after his father died in 1957. A technical assessment resulted in a 10-year plan for upgrading the hull and technical equipment. Like his father before him, King Olav used the Royal Yacht in his official capacity as well as in his leisure time.

In the winter of 1985 the Norge was in dry dock at the Horten Shipyard for repair and upgrading when welding operations sparked a fire that quickly spread. The vessel was severely damaged in the fire, with the exception of the hull and engines, which remained relatively intact. King Olav decided that the ship was to be rebuilt.

Once again, architect Finn Nilsson was asked to refit the interior. Just over a year after the fire the King was again able to take command of the Royal Yacht, in safer and in better technical condition than had previously been the case.

The Royal Yacht today

HM King Harald took over the Norge after King Olav died in 1991. The King and Queen travel on board the Norge in connection with official engagements in Norway and abroad. The King also uses the vessel as a base when competing in major yacht races.

Fredensborg Palace

Fredensborg Palace was built as a country seat for Frederik IV, and the palace is often the setting for important events in the life of the Royal Family.

Fredensborg Palace was built as a country seat for Frederik IV by the architect J.C. Krieger. Construction began in 1719. The main building was first used in 1722 and the chapel in 1726.

It was rebuilt and expanded during the reigns of Christian VI and of Frederik V and Queen Juliane Marie by the architects N.Eigtved, L. de Thurah and C.F. Harsdorff.

After Queen Juliane Marie’s death in 1796, the palace was rarely used. It was not until the reign of Christian IX and Queen Louise that the palace again became the setting for the Royal Family’s life for lengthy periods. “Europe’s parents-in-law” gathered their daughters and sons-in-law, all of whom represented many of Europe’s royal and princely houses, at Fredensborg Palace every summer.

Fredensborg Palace is often the setting for important events in the life of the Royal Family. It is here they celebrate weddings, silver wedding anniversaries and birthdays. 

The Dome Hall

The baroque dining room, scratching on windows, the palace garden.

Fredensborg Palace Garden is one of Denmark’s largest Baroque gardens and was rearranged in the 1760s under Frederik V. A distinctive element in the garden is the main axis at Brede Allé, which originates from the palace’s garden hall.

The palace garden covering nearly 120 hectares was laid out by J.C. Krieger with, among other things, seven avenues, which radiated out in fan shape from the palace and cut through the surrounding forest. The garden was rearranged by Nicolas-Henri Jardin in the 1760s and, among other things, was adorned with an impressive program of sculptures by the sculptor Johannes Wiedewelt. In the 1800s, the garden was rearranged in keeping with the tastes of the period, and many of the garden’s 15 kilometers of avenues were eliminated.

In 2009, the Agency for Culture and Palaces, with support from the A.P. Møller and Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation for General Purposes, began the restoration of Brede Allé at Fredensborg Palace. In connection with the restoration, the old avenue trees have been replaced, and the double avenue has been recreated in a simplified form. At the same time, the garden’s sculptures and monuments have been restored or recarved, and the parterre, which is the large semicircular space in front of the palace, has been recreated. In addition, two distinctive garden spaces in immediate connection to this place, “Ballonpladsen” and “Vinhøsten”, have been recreated. The opening took place at Fredensborg Palace on 17 September 2013 with the participation of Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik. For the restoration work, the Agency for Culture and Palaces received the “European Heritage Award/ Europa Nostra Award" in 2021 from the European restoration organization Europa Nostra.

In the “Valley of the Norsemen” stand 68 sandstone figures representing Norwegian and Faroese farmers and fishermen. These figures were originally carved by the sculptor J.G. Grund. They were recast and recarved at the end of the 1900s.

The Orangery

In 1995, an orangery was built in connection with the palace’s kitchen garden. Here, delicate plants are kept during the winter, and flowers are grown for decoration of the palaces.

When Fredensborg Palace was built long ago, there was also an orangery belonging to the palace. At the time, it was located between the palace and the church, but it was replaced by other buildings over time. Today at Fredensborg Palace, there is a new, modern orangery, which was created in 1995 in connection with the palace’s kitchen garden.

The pride of Fredensborg Palace Garden are the old, pruned myrtles, which originally stood in The King’s Garden but were moved to Fredensborg Palace in 1909. In the winter, the palace garden’s potted plants such as, for example, citrus and myrtles are kept in the Orangery, where there is also production of flowers for decoration of the palace and small plants for planting in the kitchen garden.

There are approximately 350 plants of various sizes in pots and vessels in the Orangery, which among other things include 14 large citrus trees, 17 Seville orange trees in large Versailles wooden boxes, 50 laurel plants, and 75 myrtles.

royal yacht dannebrog interior

The Palace Chapel

In extension of Fredensborg Palace is the associated palace chapel, which was built between 1724-1726 by the architect J.C. Krieger.

The palace chapel’s altar was created by the sculptor Friedrich Ehbisch, and the altarpiece’s picture “Day of Judgment” was painted by Henrik Krock. The altar’s silver was produced for the church’s consecration in 1726 and was also ornamented with Frederik IV’s crowned mirror monogram. In 2006, the palace church’s ceiling was decorated with a 8.5 x 3.5-meter ceiling painting by artist Per Kirkeby.

Among other things, Fredensborg Palace Chapel is used for religious ceremonies for the royal family. In more recent times, the following events, among others, have taken place in the palace chapel: HM Queen Margrethe’s confirmation (1955), HRH Princess Benedikte’s confirmation (1959), HM Queen Anne-Marie’s confirmation (1961), Princess Benedikte’s and HH Prince Richard’s wedding (1968), HM The King’s confirmation (1981), HRH Prince Joachim’s confirmation (1982), HH Prince Nikolai’s christening (1999), HRH Princess Isabella’s christening (2007), HH Prince Nikolai’s confirmation (2013), HH Prince Felix’s confirmation (2017), HRH The Crown Prince’s confirmation (2021), and, most recently, HRH Princess Isabella's confirmaion (2022). 

Queen Margrethe has maintained the centuries-old tradition that the chapel should be open for members of Asminderød-Grønholt parishes, and a public church service is held almost every Sunday.

Chancellery House

On the south side of the newly rebuilt riding ground facility at Fredensborg Palace lies the Chancellery House. The low wing, which is connected to the main palace via the stable buildings and the chapel, frames the eastern part of the palace complex.

royal yacht dannebrog interior

The building was erected in 1731 during the reign of Christian VI for the king’s ministers and government officials and was therefore originally called the Chancellery House. 

Since then, the name has changed to the Chancellery House, presumably because the Chancellery, which was the uppermost, central administrative and governing body in Denmark, stayed there when the king resided at Fredensborg Palace.

The Chancellery House was built by architect J.C. Krieger, who was also responsible for the main palace. The Chancellery House’s architecture and interiors are in Baroque style with references to the French régence style. A nice detail in the simple facade of the building are the flat, decorative columns, where, at the top, you can see the building owner’s monogram, C6, between two elephant heads – the symbol of strength and wisdom, and in Denmark known from our oldest and most distinguished order of chivalry, the Order of the Elephant.

Inside, the Chancellery House contains at each end a six-meter-high little hall in quadratic form with a domed ceiling. The spaces were thought of as common living and reception rooms for Christian the VI’s court, and around each of the two halls there are four flats consisting of two small rooms, where the courtly gentlemen lived when they were at Fredensborg on government business. Today, the Chancellery House’s old floor plan is preserved with few changes, and you can still see details from the building’s earliest times. Among these are beautiful stucco ceilings in régence style, paneled doors with decorative fittings in wrought iron, high wall panels and, in a pair of the small rooms, painted canvas wallpaper in Chinese style.

After Christian VI's time, the Chancellery House continued to function as offices and residences for the uppermost members of the court, but from around 1800, Fredensborg Palace, and thus the Chancellery House, became seldomly used because Christian VII and his son, who later became Frederik VI, preferred Frederiksberg Palace for their summer residence. The whole palace complex fell into disrepair, common families with no connection to the court moved into the octagonal buildings, and the Chancellery House was even converted into a military hospital from 1807-14 during the wars with England.

In more recent times, after Frederik IX’s death, the Chancellery House functioned as Queen Ingrid’s residence until her death in 2000. The Chancellery House was made available to TM The King and Queen around the time of their wedding in May 2004 by  Queen Margrethe. The Chancellery House functioned as the family’s main residence until 2010, when Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg stood ready after an extensive renovation. Now, The Royal Family uses the Chancellery House as their residence in the summertime, while they live in Frederik VIII’s Palace at Amalienborg during the winter.

Riding ground and stable

In 2019-2020, the Agency for Culture and Palaces re-established Fredensborg Palace’s original Riding Ground from the 1720s, and sections of the old stables were restored at the same time.

When Frederik IV built Fredensborg Palace approximately 300 years ago, there was a need for space at the palace for the Royal House’s various livestock. In the 1700s, horses were especially useful for work and an important means of transport, and, at the same time, the royal family had an extensive stud operation with the coveted Frederiksborg horses. The king’s finest horses were kept closest to the palace, and therefore, in the area between Fredensborg Palace Chapel and the Chancellery House, a riding ground and accompanying stable were built

The ground had been closed down for many years. But, in connection with The King’s 50th birthday on 26 May 2018, the board of the A.P. Møller & Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation granted a sum for re-establishment of the historic old riding ground. In addition, the foundation granted funds for restoration of parts of the Long Stable at Fredensborg Palace. 

The re-established historic riding ground and Long Stable is used by the Royal Mews, the Guard Hussar Regiment and the Royal Family. According to international standards for a dressage arena, the riding ground measures 20 x 60 meters. With inspiration from old paintings, during the re-establishment phase a low, red-painted wooden fence was built around the riding ground, which is surrounded by a grass border and a beech hedge. The Long Stable was last renovated in 1914 during Christian X’s time and therefore was in need of a makeover, and the whole restoration was carried out as considerately as possible and with respect for the historical geometry and color scheme. As a new element, there are boxes instead of stalls so the horses can be stabled according to current regulations.
