Fine and hoc stop in the area.

Nice circular walk from the carpark to the castle with my dog. Didn't take long to walk round. The car park was nice a quiet when we visited in November.

Delightful little spot, what's left of the Castle is quite small, but you can explore, the setting of the castle is in a stunning area of natural beauty. There is a walled garden next to the castle where you can sit, the sun was out and was very peaceful.

"The Wolf" had a great place to hide after he'd done something nasty. Which was pretty often as I understand.

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.
