Historien om Kejserens villa
[Læs mere: Kejserens Villa]
Den 20. oktober 1885 købte Kejser Alexander III af Rusland og hans hustru Kejserinde Maria Fodorovna (danske Dagmar) det lille hus ved Slotsparken i Fredensborg. I begyndelsen gik rygterne på, at han ville give huset i bryllupsgave til Prins Valdemar. Så hed det sig, at den skulle være bolig for russiske opdagelsesbetjente under Kejserens besøg i Fredensborg. Heller ikke dette viste sig at være rigtigt. Villaen stod hen i flere år og syntes næsten at gå i glemsel indtil renoveringen begyndte. Kvistene blev hævet til tagryggen og huset fik flotte udskæringer i gavle og på kviste. Man kunne næsten sige, at huset blev russificeret, på trods af at stilen idag kendes som schweitzerstil. Og husets placering højt på skrænten, med de markante granitblokke leder da også tankerne hen på Schweitz. Men russisk var ejeren og familien der 1. oktober 1889 indviede deres egen villa, som Dagmar kaldte: Vort kære miniature Gatchina
Kong Christian d. 9 og Dronning Louise (Dagmars forældre) samlede alle deres børn og svigerbørn i Fredensborg. Kejser Alexander d. III havde nu sin egen bolig i Fredensborg. Alexander var så glad for villaen, at han lod det indgå i det Fabergéæg han i påsken 1890 gav Kejserinde Dagmar. Ægget hedder på engelsk: “Danish Palaces egg”. Tredje billede i fabergéægget viser Kejserens Villa.
Den kejserlige familie tilbragte sommerferien i villaen, men efter Zar Alexanders død i 1894 vendte Dagmar aldrig tilbage til huset og i 1929 blev det solgt til privat eje. De nuværende ejere overtog huset i 2010 og har planer om en total renovering og afventer en fredning af ejendommen.

The Emporers Villa - History
On the 20th October 1885, Tsar Alexander III and Empress Maria Fjodorovna (Empress Dagmar from Denmark) bought this villa near Fredensborg Castle. The locals thought he bought it as a wedding gift for Prince Valdemar or that it would host Russian officers during the Tsars visits in Fredensborg. However, this was not the case. For a few years it remained empty until renovation started and 1 October1889 the Tsar family inaugurated their private villa which Dagmar called “Our dear miniature Gatchina”
Danish King Christian 9th and his Queen Louise (Dagmars parents) were often visited by their family at Fredensborg Castle, but Alexander III preferred staying in his own villa. He was so happy with the villa that he included a picture of it in the Farbege egg he gave to Dagmar as an Easter present in 1890. The 
egg is called ‘Danish Palaces egg’ and the villa is the 3rd picture in the egg.
The tsar family spent their summer holidays in the villa, but after Alexanders death in 1894, Dagmar never visited the villa again. In 1929 it was sold. The current owner bought it in 2010 and there are plans to completely renovate the villa to take it back to its former glory. In 2016, the villa was nominated as a listed protected house. As soon as final decision on this has been made by the authorities, renovation will begin.
