Amalienborg in Copenhagen was designed by Nicolai Eigtved, and Lauritz de Thurah continued the work after Eigtved's death. Four noble families were the intended occupants, and Adam Gottlob Moltke headed the project. The infobox gives 1750 to 1760, and the text says Christian VII's Palace was erected in 1750 to 1754 and the palaces were completed in 1760.
The infobox says Rococo, and the text describes identical Classical facades with Rococo interiors. The article gives no materials or dimensions. A palace fire occurred in 1689, before the current complex was built.
The royal family bought the palaces after the 1794 Christiansborg fire. A firefight took place there during the German invasion on April 9, 1940. It is the official residence of the Danish royal family. Christian VII's and Christian VIII's palaces are open to the public, and the article gives no hours or ticket details.
