The Bernstorff Mansion is a Rococo-style town mansion situated at the corner of Bredgade and Frederiksgade in the Frederiksstaden district of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It complements the Dehn Mansion on the other corner, contributing to the symmetry of Frederiksstaden's Frederiksgade axis. The town mansion remained in the hands of the Bernstorff family until 1799. It has also been referred to as Prince Ferdinand's Mansion and King George's Mansion after two later owners. The Supreme Court was based on the beletage from the fire of the second Christiansborg Palace in 1884 until the completion of its current building in 1919. Four large gobelins by François Boucher were sold in around 1900 and are now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum. The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. It is now owned by Jeudan.
