Blev Danmarks nye prins den kommende tronarving, i folkemunde kaldt "lilleprinsen" døbt i Christiansborg Slotskirke, han fik navnet Christian Valdemar Henri John, de to sidste navne efter sin Farfar og Morfar - Jeg gav selv et bud på navnet få dage efter hans fødsel i min cache Det blev en prins, nemlig Christian Frederik Valdemar John Henrik.

Christiansborg Slotskirkes historie går tilbage til det første Christiansborg Slot, som blev opført i årene 1733-45. Christian 6. lod den talentfulde unge arkitekt i Kongens Bygningsvæsen Nicolai Eigtved stå for indretningen af slotskirken i 1738-42, og han skabte et af de fornemste rokokointeriører i dansk arkitektur.

Da slottet brændte i 1794, gik det imidlertid også udover kirken. Tilbage stod en ruin, som man besluttede at rive ned, men beslutningen blev aldrig ført ud i livet. Arkitekten C.F. Hansen fik til at opgave at forestå genopførelsen af Christiansborg Slot. Arbejdet med slotskirken begyndte i 1813 med størst mulig anvendelse af eksisterende fundamenter og murværk. Kirken blev ligesom hovedslottet, det andet Christiansborg, bygget i periodens nyklassicistiske stil, med et centralt kirkerum overdækket med en kuppelkonstruktion.

Christiansborg Slotskirke, som vi kender i dag, blev indviet ved en festgudstjeneste pinsedag den 14. maj 1826, dagen hvor man også fejrede 1000-året for kristendommens indførelse i Danmark. Fra dette tidspunkt fungerede kirken som sognekirke for Kongehuset og oprindeligt også for en eksklusiv menighed af hoffets ansatte, kunstnere fra Det Kongelige Teater og funktionærer fra en række kulturinstitutioner i det indre København. Funktionen som sognekirke for Kongehuset varede i præcis 100 år, til 1926. I 1930-1965 var kirken sognekirke i et særligt slotssogn.

En af de første store kirkelige handlinger i C.F. Hansens kirke var brylluppet mellem Prins Frederik, den senere Frederik 7., og Prinsesse Vilhelmine, datter af Frederik 6. Brylluppet fandt sted den 1. november 1828 med efterfølgende taffel på slottet for mere end 700 gæster. Det var ved den anledning, at kongefamilien tog det nyopførte andet Christiansborg i brug ved at tage ophold i nogle få dage. Det andet Christiansborg blev aldrig færdigindrettet, og kongefamilien brugte det sjældent.

Men slotskirken har igennem årene dannet rammen om flere bryllupper og andre vigtige ceremonier i Kongehusets historie. Christian 9.’s datter Prinsesse Thyra blev i 1878 viet til hertugen af Cumberland. I 1892 fejrede Christian 9. og Dronning Louise guldbryllup ved en højtidelighed i kirken, og i 1897 dannede kirken rammen om brylluppet mellem Prinsesse Ingeborg, datter af Frederik 8., og Prins Carl af Sverige.

Der har også været tradition for kongelige konfirmationer i slotskirken. Prins Christian (senere Christian 9.) blev konfirmeret her i 1835, og det samme blev Prins Frederik (senere Frederik 8.) og hans søster Prinsesse Alexandra i 1860. Brødrene Christian og Carl (senere Christian 10. og Haakon 7. af Norge) blev konfirmeret i slotskirken i 1887.

Traditionen for at afdøde regenter ligger på ”castrum doloris” i Christiansborg Slotskirke, inden de føres til deres sidste hvilested i Roskilde Domkirke, blev brudt efter genopførelsen af slotskirken. Men i det 20. århundrede har det igen været muligt at passere den kongeliges kiste i slotskirken for at sige et sidste farvel. Traditionen for at ligge på castrum doloris i slotskirken blev genindført i 1906 for Christian 9. og senest lå Dronning Ingrid på castrum doloris i 2000.

Når Deres Kongelige Højheder Kronprinsen og Kronprinsessens søn døbes den 21. januar 2006, vil det heller ikke være første gang, at Christiansborg Slotskirke har dannet rammen om en barnedåb i kongehuset. I 1870 blev den lille tronarvings tipoldefar Prins Christian (senere Christian 10.) nemlig døbt i slotskirken.

Slotskirken undslap den anden store Christiansborg-brand i 1884, da branden blev standset i forbindelsesbygningen til slottet. Skæbnen indhentede imidlertid kirken pinsenat den 7. juni 1992. Kirken brændte, sandsynligvis antændt af en vildfaren raket under pinsekarnevallet.

Tagkonstruktionen brændte med kuppel og etageadskillelse, og der skete svære skader på væggene og inventaret. Slots- og Ejendomsstyrelsen begyndte kort tid efter på genopbygningen. Der fandtes ingen tegninger til kuppel- og tagkonstruktion, men et systematisk bygningsarkæologisk arbejde med registrering af forkullede bygningsdele gav mulighed for at genskabe kuppel- og tagkonstruktionen. Historisk korrekte konstruktionsmetoder blev anvendt under hele genopførelsesprocessen.

Det vanskelige arbejde med at restaurere og genskabe de indvendige overflader af stukmarmor kunne ikke udføres af danske håndværkere. Den tyske ekspert på området, Manfred Siller, løste opgaven, samtidig med at han oplærte danske stukkatører i den gamle teknik.

Den genopførte kirke blev indviet den 14. januar 1997 i forbindelse med Dronning Margrethes 25-års regeringsjubilæum. Genopførelsen er tildelt flere arkitekturpriser for fornem restaurering.

Denmark’s new prince and future successor to the throne, popularly called “the little prince”, was baptized in the castle church Christiansborg slotskirke in Copenhagen. He received the name Christian Valdemar Henri John, the two last navns after his parents’ fathers. I proposed a name myself a few days after his birth in my cache Det blev en prins and it was Christian Frederik Valdemark John Henrik.

The history of Christiansborg Slotkirke goes back to the first castle Christiansborg Slot, which was built 1733-45. Christian VI authorized the young architekt Nicolai Eigtved to design the castle church 1738-42, and he constructed one of the most distinguished rococo interior decoration of the Danish architecture.

The castle burned down in 1794, and also the church. The only leftover was a ruin which was planned to be taken down, but this has never been realized. The architect C.F. Hansen was chosen to lead the rebuilding of Christiansborg Slot. The work on the castle church began 1813, using as many of the old foundations and walls as possible. The church was built in the new-classicist style of the period, like the main slot, the second Christiansborg. The church has a central church room covered by a dome roof.

Christiansborg castle church, as we know it today, was opened by a special ceremony on pentacost 14. May 1826, which was the same day, the 1000 years anniversary of the beginning of christianisation in Denmark was celebrated as well. From this time on the church functioned as parish church for the royalities and developped also an exclusive community of court employees, artists of the royal theater and officials from several cultural institutions in Copenhagen. The function as parish church was established precisely for 100 years until 1926. Between 1930 and 1965 the castle church was parish church for the castle region.

One of the first ritual action in C.F. Hansen’s church was the marriage of prince Frederik, the later Frederik 7th, and princess Vilhelmine, the daughter of Frederik 6th. The marriage took place 1. November 1828 with following dinner in the castle for more than 700 guests. This was also the first official use of the new built Christiansborg and the royal family stayed there a few days. The 2 nd Christiansborg was never completely finalized and the royal family didn’t use it often.

But the castle church took its place with several marriages and other important ceremonies in the history of the royal family. Princess Thyra, the daughter of Christian 9 th, was married to the Earl of Cumberland in 1878. In 1892 Christian 9th and queen Louise celebrated their golden marriage anniversary in the church and in 1897 the church was chosen for the marriage between princess Ingeborg, daughter of Frederik 8th, and prince Carl from Sweden.

There was also a tradition of royal confirmation celebrations in the castle church: Prince Christian (later Christian 9th) in 1835, prince Frederik (later Frederik 8th) and his sister princess Alexandra in 1860 and the brothers Christian and Carl (later Christian 10th and Haakon 7th from Norway) in 1887.

The tradition, that dead majesties were laid in state at “castrum doloris” in the castle church befor they found their last grave in the cathedral of Roskilde, was interrupted during the rebuilding of the church. But in the 20th century it was possible again to pass by the royal coffin to say a last goodbye. This tradition was done 1906 with Christian 9th. The last majesty lying at “castrum doloris” was queen Ingrid in 2000.

When the royal sovereignties crown prbnce Frederik and crown princess Mary have baptized their son in the castle church, it was not the first time that the church was chosen for a royal baptism. In 1870 the little prince Christian (further Christian 10th) was baptized as well in the castle church.

The castle church escaped the 2nd big Christiansborg fire in 1884, because the fire could be stopped by the connection building to the castle. The accident happened meanwhile in the night of 7th june 1992 (pentacost). The church burned, most probably caused by a firework during pentacost karneval.

The roof construction including dome and ceiling burned down, and a lot of damage was done to the walls and inventory. The owner association began with the re-building shortly later. No plans of the old dome and roof construction existed, but a very precise archeological work with registrating of the burned parts of the building made it possible to re-build the dome and roof construction. Historical correct construction methods were used during the whole construction process.

The complicated work of restauration and development of the inside stucco marble couldn’t be done by Danish handcraftmen. The German specialist Manfred Siller solved the task by teaching Danish stuccoworker in the old technique.

The re-built church has been insigned on 14. january 1997 connected to the 25th reign anniversary of queen Margarethe 2nd. The re-construction received several architecture prizes because of the sophisticated restauration.
