After almost 20 years of debate and several architectural competitions, the architect Thorvald Jørgensen was selected to conduct the construction of the third Christiansborg. The foundation stone was laid in 1907. Hereafter the palace was taken into use by stages, but the opening of the Royal Reception Rooms on 12 January 1928 was considered the palace’s official completion. The Rigsdag premises, however, were taken into use already in 1918.
