The Danish Order of Freemasons ((デンマーク語:Den Danske Frimurerorden)) (abbr.: DDFO), in English mostly known as the Grand Lodge of Denmark, is the main governing body of regular Freemasonry in Denmark, tracing its history back to 1743, making it the oldest Masonic organisation of Denmark.〔Independent Facebook page about Freemasonry in Denmark: (About the Grand Lodge of Denmark ) or (Long Description )〕 The Danish Order of Freemasons is the only regular Masonic organisation in Denmark, recognised as such by the world's oldest Masonic Grand Lodge, the United Grand Lodge of England, founded in 1717 in London.〔 The Danish Order of Freemasons has 89 Lodges in 45 cities, all working in accordance with the rituals of the Swedish Rite.〔The Grand Lodge of Denmark / The Danish Order of Freemasons: (History ) 〕 The order has around 8,000 members.〔 Within the Danish Order of Freemasons are two other Masonic organisations,〔 both of whom have their own Lodges and both not requiring their members be baptised in the Christian faith: The ''Guild of Freemasons'' ((デンマーク語:Det Danske Frimurerlaug)) has 42 Lodges and practice the English Emulation Ritual, while the ''Union of Johannes Lodges'' ((デンマーク語:Johanneslogeforbundet)) has 3 Lodges and practice the rite created by Friedrich Ludwig Schröder. The two Masonic organisations are under the Danish Order of Freemasons and its management.〔 The headquarters of the Danish Order of Freemasons are located on "Blegdamsvej" street in Copenhagen's "Østerbro" district, Denmark. The building was designed by Danish architect and Freemason Holger Rasmussen and was built between 1 May 1923 and 12 October 1927. The cornerstone was laid on 3 June 1924 by Danish King Christian X, who was himself a Freemason. The building has 13,515 square metres of floor space and approximately 335 rooms. It is 19.5 metres tall and has six main floors, two of which are below ground. The two columns by the main entrance are 16 metres tall and weigh 72 tons each.〔Independent Facebook page about Freemasonry in Denmark: (Lodge buildings around the world – The headquarters of the Grand Lodge of Denmark )〕 During the later part of the Second World War the building was occupied and was used as headquarters by the Schalburg Corps. == Famous members == * King Frederick V * Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel * King Frederick VI * Prince and Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg * Christian VIII of Denmark * Frederick VII of Denmark * Frederick VIII of Denmark * Christian X of Denmark * Haakon VII of Norway * Prince Harald of Denmark * Prince Gorm of Denmark * Count Oluf of Rosenborg * Philip de Lange * Christian Conrad Danneskiold-Laurvig * J.O.
