Very nice! Clean, tidy environment, this is what this iconic monument deserves! The coffered ceiling is amazing. And I say this not because my dear son has confirmed here, but without the pastors, this place would not be what it is. It was good to come back here!

Very nice church! We were there at 11 a.m. on Sunday and it was just worship! The pastor greeted me kindly and the congregation was direct. The living history, colors and shapes are beautiful!

Beautiful church in wonderful surroundings. The immediate surroundings of the church are being renovated, so the construction is deteriorating on the outside ... I remembered from the previous pictures the larger surrounding water surface, in addition to less water, the aquatic plants also give the building a different character from the outside, but it is still beautiful ...

The building, although spoiled in its original image, has retained many of its original Gothic features and several distinctive decorative elements of Hungarian rural temples. Its value is further enhanced by the natural environment, the backwater around the mound carrying the church. It is a pity that there is no strength to preserve it, and in addition to the general drying up of the surrounding agricultural areas, they cannot keep the water of the backwater continuously.

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.
