King for a day

A millennium of royal history has left the Copenhagen Region with an impressive legacy of historic buildings.

Many of these imposing buildings, once reserved for the nobility alone, are today open to the public as hotels, restaurants and meeting venues.If you head north on Sealand you will find some of Denmark's finest and most famous royal buildings.

Kronborg Castle 

Overlooking the northern entrance to the Øresund, Kronborg is known for its association with Hamlet and many visitors come each summer to see the outdoor performances of Shakespeare tragedy that take place in its courtyard. Kronborg Castle offers four exclusive meeting rooms and a sumptuous ballroom. You can obtain a guided tour of the castle, visit towers otherwise closed to the public or explore the creepy dungeons.

Fredensborg Store Kro

Since the 18^th century the Danish royal family's summer retreat has been Fredensborg Palace, beside Lake Esrum. And since their wedding, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princes Mary have their home here. In 1723 King Frederik IV built Fredensborg Store Kro (inn) nearby as accommodation for guests visiting him at Fredensborg, but today the inn is open to all and boasts a highly acclaimed restaurant and atmospheric reception rooms.

Sølyst 

With its vast waxed wooden floors, oriental carpets and views across the sound of Øresund, the Royal Shooting Society is the perfect venue for companies looking for a lavish royal setting. The historic 18^th century palace of Sølyst may be utilised for lunches, dinners or conferences by groups of 20 to 190 persons, while marquee events and a host of other activities may be organized in the grounds for up to 700 persons.

Dragsholm Castle

Dragsholm Castle lies in a beautiful location, close to the beach and surrounded by a lovely park with beautiful 100-year-old rhododendrons and its own woods with plenty of wildlife. The castle began its life in 1215 as a bishop's palace, but functions today as a hotel, restaurant and conference centre.

The castle has a chapel, a dungeon, a castle theatre, a hunting room and much more, all of which can be utilised as meeting rooms. And a gala dinner can be held in a number of beautiful halls.

Ledreborg 

Ledreborg has been described as "the most romantic privately-owned stately home in Denmark". The palace possesses facilities for all types of event, from the classic to the extraordinary. In 2005 the palace's "Old Barn" was completely renovated and is now an elegant and inviting building, capable of accommodating even very large events.

Ledreborg can also offer a range of out-of-the-ordinary outdoor activities such as adventure trips, 4WD off-road driving and survival courses. 

Frederiksborg Castle

Frederiksborg Castle also holds the Museum of National History. This gives you the possibility to combine your meeting with a guided tour at The Museum of National History, learning about the Danish history. During your breaks you can go for a walk in the Baroque Garden or get to know the splendid Knights Hall or the beautiful Palace Chapel. 

Moltke's Palace 

Moltke's Palace dates back to the beginning of the eighteenth century and if the walls could talk, they would spin a fascinating tale of counts, merchant princes, dowager queens, artists and other noble people who put their distinctive stamp on the palace.

With its location in the heart of Copenhagen, Moltke's Palace offers unique possibilities for meetings, conferences, receptions and dinners. The numerous halls and chambers are capable of hosting up to 750 guests, but are also highly suitable for smaller events with as few as 10 guests in attendance.
