St. Ursula Church is one of the oldest brick churches in Poland. It was erected in the years 1235-1247, probably as a private church of the owner Mściwój Pobóg. In 1601 a sacristy was added from the North. In 1726 the western corpus of the church was demolished and the nave was extended to the West. At the beginning of the 20th century a tower was added in the south-western corner of the church, as well as the northern chapel and a southern porch.
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.
