The French Embassy in Copenhagen is the main diplomatic mission of France to the Kingdom of Denmark.
His new mansion was designed by Lambert van Haven as an L-shaped building in the Dutch Baroque style.
[3] After Niels Juel's death in 1697, the king, Christian V of Denmark, arranged for his official mistress and mother to five of his children, Sophie Amalie Moth, to take over his mansion.
[4] She immediately passed it on to him and the king's eldest son, Christian Gyldenløve, who around 1700 extended the building with a third wing.
[3] The embassy is today also used as a venue for a multitude of activities including conferences, lectures, wine tastings and guided tours.
