Levetzau’s Palace was built in 1760 for Count Christian Frederik Levetzau. After it was sold in 1756, this became the home of various royal family members. It was renamed Christian VIII’s Palace when Christian Fredrick became the king of Denmark in 1839. The last descendant to make this his residence was Crown Prince Frederik. He is the current heir apparent to the throne. Levetzau’s Palace is one of four identical slots comprising the Amalienborg complex.
