Roskilde Palæ

Getting around: In central Roskilde, next to the cathedral, an easy walk from the train station.
Hours: The building is primarily used for civic and event purposes; public access to interiors may be limited to specific exhibitions or events. Check locally before visiting for interior access.

Roskilde Palæ is a baroque palace building adjacent to the cathedral, originally built as a royal residence and later used for civic functions; today it hosts municipal offices and occasional public exhibitions or events rather than operating as a standing museum. The exterior and its position on the cathedral square are the main visual draw for passersby.

It's a minor stop, mostly of interest for its architecture and setting alongside the cathedral rather than as a destination with regular public access to its interior.
