Fredensborg Palace in Denmark was designed by Johan Cornelius Krieger, with Lauritz de Thurah and Nicolai Eigtved, and Johan Conrad Ernst led construction. King Frederick IV was the client. The infobox gives 1720 to 1753. The text says Krieger built the palace from 1720 to 1726, it was inaugurated on October 11, 1722 and Eigtved's extension came in 1753.
The article calls the style French-inspired Baroque, with Dutch Baroque and Rococo elements. It mentions red and black-glazed tile roofs, copper spire and pavilion roofs and a sandstone balustrade. The dome hall measures 49 by 49 feet (15 by 15 m) and stands 89 feet (27 m) high.
A 1720 peace treaty was signed on the site, and Princess Benedikte married in the palace chapel in 1968. The gardens won a 2021 European Heritage award. It is the royal family's spring and autumn residence. The article gives no hours.
