It's a beautiful old castle and the entry price isn't too bad. Pay once and you have until closing to walk around and explore all you want. There's plenty of parking and there's also a little shop you can have a look around in

This castle was worth the trip with all the old rooms and the historic sights. It is a bit expensive to get in but parking is just nearby. In 2022 you have to have a little parking slip in your car though. It is available in the stores and small businesses around the town. Quite an impressive place.

It's really nice. Nice view. In the Castle, love the craft work of the furniture.

The biggest surprise of road trip around Öster Götaland . Very underrated location which even not many Swedes know, but it’s so worth visiting. It went on a guided tour which was also ok. I recommend to book ticket in 1-2day advance because they were already sold out on the morning of the day I visited the castle.

Cozy little town, with a simple playground for kids. Worth a visit if you are nearby or if it's a long your route. Some historical places to visit and some local shops.

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.
