An enigmatic place, the number of Roman artefacts and remains of constructions is very important there. The excavations have unfortunately ceased but the association of enthusiasts watches over this heritage of antiquity, hot water cold water, garden reception rooms, swimming pool, nothing was missing 2000 years ago. A unique place to visit. Thank you for the visit, to the guide and to his grandson!

Thank you very much to Jean Pierre for his availability, his welcome and his generosity. The Gallo-Roman villa in Loupiac is not as large and developed as another monument, but it reveals a lot of secrets, which have been revealed over the years by the strength and conviction of this gentleman. We are happy to have been able to discover these places, we believe in their preservation and hope for the extension of research. Beautiful continuation

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.
