Augustenborg Palace in Denmark was built for the dukes of Augustenborg. Ernest Günther, the first duke, built the original half-timbered manor from 1660 to 1664 and demolished the village of Stavensbøl to make room. The article names no architect for the main building. The three-winged main building dates from 1770 to 1776. The infobox calls the style Rococo, while the text calls the main building Baroque and the church hall Rococo.
The walls are yellow with a blue-tiled roof. The central three-bay avant-corps rises three stories. The church hall has seven window bays with six Doric and six Corinthian columns.
Hans Christian Andersen stayed for two weeks in autumn 1844. The Danish state bought the palace in 1921. It served as a barracks, then a women's seminary from 1878, and has been a psychiatric hospital since 1932. The church is open in summer. The article gives no hours.
