Crown Prince Christian gave the site to Princess Charlotte Amalie in 1730. Construction started in 1731, and H. H. Scheel supervised it. Johan Cornelius Krieger probably made the original Baroque design. Many materials came from Copenhagen Castle, which was being demolished. The palace replaced an earlier house called Gyldenlund.
Ferdinand Meldahl led a rebuilding in 1880 and 1881 for Crown Prince Frederick, adding a central hall with a dome and lantern. The infobox gives Neo-Renaissance, and the text says French Renaissance. The Baroque park became an English-style garden in the 1880s, and it covers 35 acres (14.2 hectares).
It was listed in 1918. The Danish Biological Station used it from 1935 to 2017. A 2019 note says it houses caterers and offices, and the article names no owner.
