The church of Saeul was first mentioned in 1318. The Romanesque architecture goes back to the 12th century. The renovation of the 1960 strengthens the formal structure with great simplicity. Some decorations are kept on the apsis. The remnants point out that the interior was once decorated by a pelt and even a painted façade. The spire was built in 1733. The cemetery was laid around the church. Some funeral monuments realized by local artist of the baroque era are kept as cultural heritage.
References:Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.
The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.
Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
