Beautiful castle with a great view of the surrounding fields and small towns. They have several events with characters in typical costumes of the medieval time.

Nice to visit Grodziec Castle. Every year getting better. Before was free access to inside of castle and paid for visiting rooms and inside. Now you need pay straight on the door before you get in.

This was a lot of fun. I really enjoy the old castles that let you explore every nook and cranny on your own. There’s something a lot more personal to be let alone to explore at whim. A lot of great views from the rooftops and fun camera angles. A must stop if you’re in the area. We drove over and hour to get here and it was totally worth it!

This is the best castle we have ever seen! It is highly underrated and relatively unknown. We stumbled upon this place by chance and were unsure whether to visit or not. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we decided to go. The castle has a truly breathtaking effect and offers a unique experience. There were not many visitors, allowing us to explore all parts of the castle. We highly recommend visiting this hidden gem!'

The whole site was extremely immersive. There was medieval music at the main courtyard, local wooden statues scattered around, and the smell of the bonfire spreading from the central barbecue. All of this and more, gave me a vibe of authenticity, freedom and a real medieval experience! I joined a guided tour (in Polish). The guide through his stories was spreading the excitement for the medieval history the way coronavirus spread around the world. Much greetings, the tour was great! Overall, an absolutely amazing place, A true gem of Southern Poland.

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.
