Eremitageslottet, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark

The Hermitage Palace is inextricably linked to the myth of the Hermitage table, although the table no longer exists at the palace. The table, equipped with gears and pulleys, was one of the world's first dumbwaiters, created to transport royal food from the kitchen in the basement up to the Dining Hall.

Both Slottet (Oslo Royal Palace) and Skaugum (residence of the Crown Prince and his family) are decorated for Christmas.
