Very enjoyable. Spent 3-4 hours here mooching around, and having a picnic lunch. The kids really enjoyed the circus skills. Very quiet. A lovely place to have a chill.

We had a lovely day, despite only speaking a bit of French. Plenty to see and do, and the Circus entertainers were fabulous and hilarious, again, even with our very limited French. 10 year old daughter had a great time. We will definitely go back again.

Visited in the summer holidays, fun place to spend a couple of hours. There was enough history and extra children's activities were laid on, which was thoughtful and probably necessary, either way it improved the trip

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.
