Christiansborg Slotskirke (Christiansborg Palace Chapel) is a historic church located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is situated within the Christiansborg Palace, which is the seat of the Danish Parliament and the offices of the Prime Minister and the Supreme Court.
The church dates back to the 18th century and was originally designed by the Danish architect Elias David Häusser. However, it was destroyed by a fire in 1794 and was later rebuilt by the Danish architect Christian Frederik Hansen.
