Christiansborg Castle Church
Christiansborg Castle Church is the church on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen. The church is part of the parts of Christiansborg Palace that are available to the Royal Family.[1] It is used for church ceremonies for members of the royal family, mainly baptisms, confirmations and castrum doloris. It is also used by the Danish Parliament for services at the opening of the Parliament.
The original castle church was built in 1738–42 during the construction of the first Christiansborg Palace. It was lost in the Christiansborg fire of 1794. A large part of the outer walls and partitions survived the fire and have been reused in the current church.
