Amaliegade

Amaliegade (Danish pronunciation: [æˈmɛˀljəˌkɛːðə]) is a street in central Copenhagen, Denmark, which makes up the longer of the two axes on which the Rococo district Frederiksstaden is centred.

Amaliegade extends from Sankt Annæ Plads to Esplanaden, passing through the central plaza of Amalienborg Palace on the way where it intersects Frederiksgade, the other, shorter but more prominent, axis of the district.

King Frederick VI purchased the palace in 1810 to use it as a guest residence for visiting relatives of the royal family.

23 was designed by Nicolai Eigtved and built 1752–53 in Rococo style for mayor Johan Johansen.

During the same years de Thurah built Gammel Holtegård north of Copenhagen as a country house with a fine Baroque garden and he may have over-spent on his building projects.

It has seven bays separated by Ionic pilasters and another typical Neoclassical decoration is a "running dog".

The relief in the triangular pediment is an early work by Bertel Thorvaldsen depicting a female figure with a monocular next to a putto decorated with a garland.
