Rosenstein Palace

Stuttgart, Germany

Rosenstein Palace was built between 1822 and 1830 by the court builder Giovanni Salucci (1769–1845) in the classical style for King Wilhelm I. The palace stands in Rosenstein Park on a height overlooking the Neckar river valley. Formerly called the Kahlenstein (literally 'bald rock', because it was bare of trees), the hill was renamed Rosenstein ('rose rock'), and a rose garden was planted to the south-east of the palace.

Today, Schloss Rosenstein houses that part of State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart dealing with extant lifeforms.

To reach here by car is only possible by walking. You can use the park place of Zoo Wilhelma then 15 minutes mid-range upright walking. Great museum especially for kids. There are two different museum here. Naturkunde and Museum am Löwentor. You can get a combined ticket by paying 1€ additionally. Distance between the museums is 20 minutes by walking. You can also enjoy very nice garden outside.

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.
