May-Sept Fri-Sun 2-4pm; Oct-April Sat & Sun 2-4pm; 10kr. In the south wing of the Outer Courtyard is all that remains of the Royal Stables , which once occupied both wings of the Outer Courtyard and housed the royal family's retinue of 200 horses (there are now just twenty). Even if you're not interested in horses, the stables, part of the original Baroque Christiansborg, are worth seeing for their lavish interiors, with pillars, vaulted ceilings, and walls and cribs of Tuscan marble - apparently not even the king's own chambers were this extravagantly decorated. The stables also include the Coach Museum , the royal family's formidable collection of coaches and carriages (some of them still in use) which ranges from Dowager Queen Juliane Marie's state coach from 1778 - the collection's oldest and most elaborately decorated carriage - to Frederik IX's Bentley T, left here since his death in 1972.
