Beautiful place, good wine and a 1860 castle. I got a gift card from work for one night & breakfast for 2 people in a castle. Seemed a good deal, but in the morning it cost us 2000 kr extra, included in the "deal" for mandatory purchase for 3 courses & 3 wine taste. Food was ok and 2 wines were great. I'm not a sommelier. The room could be better. Understanding it is a castle, but the room had no noise insulation. Not so much for the strange noises during the night, but the morning we heard the other guests clear and loud while they were going to have breakfast. Some cracks on the ceiling and a odd wallpaper didn't help a feeling of balanced price/quality. Good stuff!

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.
