Bodrogolaszi Church

Bodrogolaszi, Hungary

Bodrogolaszi Church with a round-arched apse was built on a hill in the 12th century. Its hole windows justify that besides the religious function, the church was also of strategic importance. The church was originally designated for the Walloons, immigrants occupied with vine-culture in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region. The church was reconstructed several times: in the end of the 18th century, in the second half of the 19th century and the end of the 1970s. The latter was the biggest reconstruction, when the building gained its finals shape.

Thank you for the guarantor entry to the balcony of the tower Samuel! ? To get the key, you can ask the wine shop on the street opposite the tower ... in front of the market.

Nice little Árpádian church next to Bodrog.

Nice, uniform 12th-century building - with remnants of architectural decoration in places - in the wedge part of the village on the banks of the Bodrog.

A place for camping by the river. Benches and a place for bonfires. Peace and quiet. Always an angler.

At the bank of the river bank, the parish church of the former Walloon settlement, the parish church raised in honor of St. Nicholas, stands out over the leader of the Bodrog Center, which has been used for centuries. The settlement was first mentioned in 1244, when IV, Béla installed Italian vineyards here, but it is mentioned in the church in 1201. The bell in the tower was poured in 1904. The caretaker of the church is very willing, its contact with the church can be found.

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.
