Marselisborg Palace, Aarhus
Marselisborg Palace is a residence of the Danish Royal Family, serving as the summer home of Queen Margrethe II since 1967. Historically, the 18th century country house was the property of the Marselis family, originally of Hamburg, from where it gets its name. Marselisborg became a royal residence when Crown Prince Christian and his consort Princess Alexandrine received it as a wedding gift in 1898. It was rebuilt by Danish architect Hack Kampmann. Currently, the palace is used during the summer, as well as during the Easter and Christmas holidays.
