Built in the [Baroque](/wiki/Baroque_architecture "Baroque architecture") style, in yellow\-washed masonry and with red tile roofs, the four\-winged complex consists of a two\-storey main wing, two one\-storey lateral wings and a curved gate wing opening to the [Stændertorvet](/wiki/St%C3%A6ndertorvet "Stændertorvet"). The four wings are connected by curving galleries.

Facing the courtyard, the facade of the main wing has [pilasters](/wiki/Pilaster "Pilaster") and a [median risalit](/wiki/Avant-corps "Avant-corps") tipped by a triangular [pediment](/wiki/Pediment "Pediment") decorated with the royal coat of arms.

Dating from the 13th century, the Gate of Absalon which connects the mansion to the apse of Roskilde Cathedral, is the only surviving part of the former bishop's palace.
