Christiansborg Slot
Slot is Danish for Castle, first off. Christiansborg Slot is part of Slotsholmen, and is the seat of Denmark's government. This castle, or more accurately, palace, is the centerpiece of it. It was built in 1730, and through several fires and restorations, it has achieved it's present appearance. It's worth noting that underneath the building shown here, are the excavated foundations of the two castles that preceded this one- the 12th century Absalon's Fortress, and Copenhagen Castle, from about 1400 or so.
