Connects Slotsholmen with the city

The Marble Bridge, or Marmorbroen, connects Christiansborg on the island of Slotsholmen with the rest of the city. The bridge was built between 1739 and 1745. On each side, elaborate decorations make a kind of gateway to Slotsholmen. The tops are covered with marble, and the medallions bear the coats of arms of the royal family, and are framed by mythological characters. It is quite a formal place, but when we went there we saw plenty of people by the water having picnics and giving some life to this official site.

Le Marmorbroen ou pont de marbre...

Le Marmorbroen ou pont de marbre connecte Christianborg, le siège du parlement danois situé sur l’ile de Slotsholmen, avec le reste de la ville et le quartier ancien d’Indre By. Tu arrives sur la façade centrale du palais, où se trouve la carrière pour les entrainements a cheval de la garde montée. Le pont a été construit entre 1739 et 1745. On trouve de chaque coté des décorations sur un genre de porte d’entrée a Slotsholmen. Les parties supérieures sont recouvertes de marbres. Les médaillons portent les armes de la famille royale et sont encadrés de personnages de la mythologie. C’est un endroit assez formel, mais les habitants se mettent au bord de l’eau, pique niquent et donnent de la vie a cet endroit officiel.
