Coming for a wedding, we discovered an enchanting place. Some of us were lucky enough to sleep there. The reception room is breathtaking: in a barn or outbuilding, intertwined beams, a dirt floor (and not dusty), a wooden stage for the young dancers, acoustics which even allowed me not to complain about my hearing difficulties. And then, just before the meal, we had a storm like there often is in the south. These old towers surrounded by lightning are an enchanting spectacle. Gorgeous. A huge advantage for receptions: far from any home, you will not fear seeing the constabulary arriving even if you are too noisy after 3 or 4 a.m.

Always warm and original welcome. History and the current owners reveal the places with numerous testimonies (documents, costumes, furniture, crockery, portraits). Heritage Days

Thank you Mr and Mrs Fabre, thank you Geneviève, Pierre, thank you both for offering two people who love each other a setting that goes beyond the marvelous.

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.
