caption_attribution_description: English: The east wing of Lakajgården in Frederiksberg, Denmark
context_page_description: Lakajgården is a complex of early 18th-century buildings located on Roskildevej in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Located adjacent to Frederiksberg Palace, a former royal summer residence, it was originally built as stables, kitchen facilities and residential quarters for lackeys. It is a three-winged complex of low yellow buildings with red tile roofs and white windows and cornices. It has been in use by the Royal Danish Military Academy that now occupies Frederiksberg Palace since 1868. The buildings are listed on the Danish Registry of Protected Buildings and Places. A new riding hall was built on the central courtyard of the complex in the late 19th century and has now been converted into an auditorium. It is not listed.
context_section_description: Lakajården is a three-winged complex surrounding a courtyard that is open to the south facing Roskildevej. All three wings have yellow finishing on the exterior walls, hipped or half-hipped red tile roofs, and white windows and cornices.
  The west wing is the former kitchen and is therefore also known as the Kitchen Wing or Laboratory Wing. It is one storey, built from brick and has a hipped roof. A small, slightly lower appendix projects from the east side of the building at each end. These are the remains of an extension which originally ran in the full length of the building but where the central part was removed in 1870.
  The long north wing is the former stables. The building has black-painted, exposed timber framing, but the timber framing has partly been removed on the two gables. The roof is half hipped at its eastern end and is hipped at its western end. The surviving part of the stables is located in the eastern end of the building. Its interior contains wooden columns with faux marbling.
  The east wing is built in brick and has a half hipped tile roof. It is built in two storeys to the west and three storeys to the east as a result of the sloping terrain. The roof is half hipped. The ground floor was originally used as a carriage house with room for four carriages while the low upper floor contained a corridor with 27 rooms for lackeys and other personnel. The upper floor was heightened when the building was converted to exclusively residential quarters at the beginning of the 19th century. The two gates in the western facade were also removed at this point.
  The tunnel that links the Lakajgården site with the palace is barrel vaulted and has white-washed walls. It was renovated in 2012 after suffering from  moisture problems for years.
