There we were, my wife Christa and I, and about 25-30 more people in this, one of the Lutheran churches that #Denmark is rich. Good to see the congregation of Jesus coming together in a village. Singing together, confess the faith, pray and hear God's Word. It was about facing the future fearlessly and without worry, for God our Heavenly Father cares. Beautiful! Then it was the celebration of the Lord's Supper; kneeling as a congregation, receiving bread and wine. Precious in vacation time! Afterwards we talked with the pastor about being church in Denmark and the Netherlands. What a gentle and kind man... We wish this congregation the nearness of our God! And all those who are interested, feel free to enter this House of God to experience His peace, to pray or to experience a church service like us.

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.
