Blågård

Built in 1706 by Prince Charles of Denmark, in 1780 it was converted into a clothing factory before becoming a teacher training institution in 1791.

From the end of the 17th century, a park and a summer residence based on Italian traditions were developed just to the north of the former city limits of Copenhagen.

[3] In 1706 Prince Charles, the brother of King Frederick IV, acquired the estate where he soon built a one-storey country house with a mansard roof in the modern French style.

[2][4] In order to satisfy his interests in hunting and lavish entertaining, Prince Charles laid out a magnificent French Baroque garden with fountains, symmetrically positioned trees and fish ponds.

The king soon befriended a number of dancers from the Royal Danish Theatre, especially Støvlet-Cathrine, inviting them to stay at Blågård to take part in his festivities.
