Originally, from 1663, the Royal House property at Frederiksberg was no more than a small farm, known as the ‘Prinsessegården’, located at one of the ends of Frederiksberg Allé. The farm soon proved to be too small area, and at the beginning of the 18th century the building of the new palace was commenced at the crest of the Valby Hill. As the 18th century came to an end, Frederiksberg beautiful Gardens and Søndermarken were altered into romantic, English landscape gardens. These gardens now have inbuilt small garden ponds which are organized through a network of winding canals. These canals later served to drain low areas of the gardens, thus making it possible for a good place to cultivate the new and exotic trees and shrubs introduced in Denmark
