Nice village church

Wow so beautiful !! Kinneved Church offers many attractions. The interior is colorful, and the pulpit's sound ceiling has strong colors that give the church a special character. The church's cows with their softly rounded shapes have paintings on the ceiling, among other things. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to see this very beautiful little church which from the outside looks quite large, but once inside the church one is surprised that it is so small, but very, very beautiful!

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.
