I wanted to visit a building in Fénétrange with my friend but unfortunately that wasn't possible and then we drove through the town and saw the castle. There we looked around and then we got a great tour from Marianne, she explained everything to us in detail in German and showed us, we were very impressed by the exciting tour and the historic castle. We also got a lot of information about what else you can do nearby and also received a lot of brochures. Marianne was super nice and recommended that everyone take a look at the castle in Fénétrange!

Friendly free tour with the competent guide, Marianne. The restoration is in progress only the ground floor can be visited. We are impatiently waiting to see the apartments, a gigantic construction site. To be continued. But we have to roll up our sleeves.

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.
