  • The Royal House of Denmark 2006 Summary at the Beginning of 2006, Prince Christian Was Baptised in the Christiansborg Palace Chapel in Copenhagen
    Annual report | The Royal House of Denmark 2006 Summary At the beginning of 2006, Prince Christian was baptised in the Christiansborg Palace Chapel in Copenhagen. It was an occasion that attracted considerable interest both in Denmark and overseas. During the year, members of the Royal Family undertook a number of engagements at home and abroad. The traditional summer voyage on board the royal yacht, Kongeskibet Dannebrog, took The Queen and The Prince Consort to North-west Jutland and, in June, The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess, together with Prince Christian, sailed on board the Dannebrog to Bornholm. In the spring, The Queen and The Prince Consort carried out a state visit to Greece, accompanied by a large delegation representing Danish business and cultural interests. As a representative from one of the new member states in the EU, the President of Bulgaria undertook a state visit to Denmark in March. During a visit to Rome in May, The Queen was received at the Vatican by Pope Benedikt XVI. Another significant event in the calendar of the Royal Family was the re-burial of the Empress Dagmar of Russia. It was an important and historical occasion, both in Denmark and in Russia, and it is dealt with in greater detail later in this annual report. Other matters of particular interest are audiences and restoration of the royal palaces. The adjustment and modernisation of work practices within the Court has continued during 2006 with the objective of achieving a more rational and up-to-date approach. It is a pleasure to report that the collective agreement between the Court and the Association of Court Employees has resulted in better planning of working time to the advantage of all concerned.

  • Looking for Leisure. Court Residences and Their Satellites 1400-1700
    Two Cases of Reuse and spolia in the Early Modern Danish Architecture of Leisure Ulla Kjær & Poul Grinder-Hansen Looking for Leissure This paper discusses some aspects of the reuse of buildings and building materials in Early Modern Denmark, based on the fate of two Renaissance leisure houses, each of which was reused in a later period, either by being remodelled or incorporated as spolia1 into later buildings in the first two thirds of the eighteenth century, the Royal Country Houses Fredensborg by the architect Johan Cornelius Krieger and Marienlyst by the French-born architect Nicolas-Henri Jardin. This paper examines how this kind of reuse should be understood, and whether it was merely a question of economic necessity or if there were other factors, such as architectural appreciation or symbolic meaning, at play. The reuse of older buildings and building materials was a widespread and often necessary feature of architecture before the middle of the nineteenth century. It was, to a large extent, an economic issue; reusing building material from older structures saved money. In many cases older buildings were completely demolished, and their masonry was transported to a new site, where it disappeared into the walls of a new construction. This practice was common in Danish architecture, but is not the focus of this paper. More interesting are the cases where an existing building was not torn down but remodelled to accommodate new architectural or functional standards. Economic concerns probably played a role in such cases as well, but other considerations may be behind the choice of preserving an older structure, even in a transformed state.
