Beautiful historic village church as Friesland knows so many. An interior with beautiful old wooden gentlemen's benches. It is nice that the community xan this church is still active in the nilkeaster initiative, a religious community where everyone is welcome.

I knew the name Jorwerd from the book by Geert Mak with the title - how God disappeared from Jorwerd- He describes the changes in the village of Jorwerd between 1945 and 1995. Now that I'm cycling the eleven cities in Friesland, I decided to visit Jorwerd. The robust church on a terp surrounded by ancient tombstones. This church is also on the cover of the book ? by Geert Mak. A small place in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve.

Statues of saints in the beautiful church bought for next to nothing. Great atmosphere and what a wide choice.. and what a nice village Jorwert is. God has not disappeared from Jorwert at all. His "signature" is clearly visible. What a peaceful village. Geert Mak was wrong. God is clearly present here.

Beautiful originally Romanesque church, beautifully situated in Jorwerd. Beautiful headstones and oak pulpit candle and hourglass stand.

Rosenborg Castle

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.
