Danmarks sødeste graver. Asger har virkelig været så sød og hjælpsom vedrørende grav og bisættelse. Så mange tak Asker for hjælpen. Hilsen May

Nice church and not least a pastor. There was room for both being solemn, as well as making fun and using humor when it fitted. Lovely fresh breath, for a session that may otherwise feel very long. We were sitting right in front of a pillar, so we had a hard time seeing baptism. On the contrary, they had put a smart TV screen so that we did not miss anything. Really good experience, on a nice day.

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.
