Schlosskopf Fortress was built betweeen 1733-1741 according to the latest military knowledge. The mighty fortress lasted only 41 years - it had never gained any importance. In 1782, like all the other buildings, it was abandoned and slowly decayed. The imposing remains still leave the visitor with the feeling that it was impregnable.
As part of the Burgenwelt Ehrenberg, the 'Schaufestung Schlosskopf' with its guard oriel, Baroque impeller crane and observation tower has been staged since 2008, and offers another attractive insight into the architecture and defensive engineering of the time.You can reach the castle via a comfortable hiking trail, which leads families with children on the hunt for the legendary Schlosskopf treasure.
References: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.
