About

Charlottenlund Palace (Danish: Charlottenlund Slot) is a former summer residence of the Danish royal family located in Charlottenlund, some 10 km (6 mi) north of central Copenhagen, Denmark.

The palace is named after Princess Charlotte Amalie, who was responsible for the construction of the original palace. It was later extended and adapted for Crown Prince Frederick VIII to a design by Ferdinand Meldahl in the early 1880s.

From 1935 to 2017, the building has housed the Danish Biological Station (Dansk Biologisk Station), later renamed Danish Fishery Survey and in the final years called DTU Aqua. It is now a cultural event venue. The Great Hall is occasionally used for classical concerts.
