Moved article to new name[edit]

According to the Danish Palaces and Properties Agency the correct name of this property should be Christiansborg Palace not Christiansborg Castle. Also, see consolidated List of castles and palaces in Denmark for standardized naming. Thanks. -SFDan 10:24, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Executive Power, not Royal Power[edit]

I changed royal power to executive power, because the orignial wording gave the impression that the Royal power is the execute power, however the real executive power isthe government, not the king. The Monarch is above the three pillars of power and is also the supreme executive power, legislative power and judical power. The executive because the monarch appoints the ministers of government, the legeislative power, because no law is in function until the monarch signs it, and absolves the parliament and calls for new election. The judical power because the monarch can pardon anybody at will.

The use of the typical republic three pillars of power model is also aplicable, if you set the Monarch as the supreme power of all three, becuse the Kingdom of Denmark is NOT a republic, but a Monarchy. Angelbo 19:38, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the point is that the current Christiansborg was intended to be the home of the three important sources of power: the Royal family, Parliamant, and the Supreme Court. However, King Christian X refused to leave Amalienborg, so the plan was never fulfilled. The Queen does, however, use the building for a number of ceremonial purposes. Whenever an official throne room is needed, the ceremony takes place at Christiansborg. --Valentinian 23:22, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the clarification Angelbo 23:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What about Ghana?[edit]

There is also a Christiansborg Castle in Accra, Ghana. It was constructed by the Danes in the 17th Century. Most people know it today as Osu Castle where the President works.

Yes, Osu Castle is an old colonial fort. It was one of the strogest, if not the strongest, in the region. In Danish, it was known as "Christiansborg i Guinea", but today it would probably better known as "Fort Christiansborg". Valentinian ^{T / C} 15:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POTD[edit]

Picture of the day

Christiansborg Palace is a building in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. It is the seat of the Danish Parliament, the Office of the Prime Minister, and the Supreme Court. The first castle on the site was Absalon's Castle, built in 1167 by the bishop Absalon and demolished in 1370, after King Valdemar was defeated by the Hanseatic League. By the end of the 14th century Copenhagen Castle was built on the site but that too was demolished in 1731. The first Christiansborg was then built, on the orders of King Christian VI, becoming the largest palace in northern Europe on its completion in 1745. It was destroyed in 1794 by fire, and replaced by the second Christiansborg. That too burned down in 1884, eventually being replaced by the current building, which was built between 1907 and 1928. The modern building is neo-Baroque in style, although the 19th-century neoclassical chapel and the original Baroque riding grounds remain, having survived the fires.Photograph: Julian Herzog
