Never intended to go here but accidentally saw this nice castle on the way to Cochem! It’s really nice and the historical importance quite excited the overall experience. I’m only sad that, I spent very less amount of time here. That’s when I thought to write a review about this castle. Do visit :)

Must see! Stop and take the small ferry boat. Listen to the stories of the great captain Johnny, kids can chase the ghost in the small castle. And enjoy wonderful views!

Royal Palace

The Royal Palace was built in the first half of the 19th century as the Norwegian residence of King Charles III, who also reigned as king of Sweden and otherwise resided there, and is the official residence of the present Norwegian monarch. The crown prince resides at Skaugum in Asker west of Oslo. The palace has 173 rooms.

Until the completion of the Royal Palace, Norwegian royalty resided in Paleet, the magnificent town house in Christiania that the wealthy merchant Bernt Anker bequeathed to the State in 1805 to be used as a royal residence. During the last years of the union with Denmark it was used by the viceroys of Norway, and in 1814 by the first king of independent Norway, Christian Frederick.
