Visite intéressante mais trop peu de temps pour regarder les œuvres du peintre. Ce que nous avons vu était intéressant mais nous espérions voir un peu plus que 5 pièces du château.

Don't expect to find original HTL artwork in this mansion. The guide explains the lineage of Du Bosc and Toulouse Lautrec which resulted in the birth of the artist. A pampered little boy and a man with a strong character, his family home contains a whole host of his familiar objects. Did Henri take tea under the plane tree with his mother? We imagine it ... interesting and moving

A dusty visit where you will discover the family's crockery, its furniture and many other things ... but little to see no highlighting of the man himself ... Mediation side, it is 15 years late.

There is not possibility of free visit. Just guided and just in french. If you don't speak french you will get really bored.

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.
