Santa Lucía del Trampal is a monastic church, one of the few surviving Visigothic buildings. Apparently, the basilica was built toward the end of the 7th century as part of a convent pertaining to the Templar monks, for which it served as a chapel, with a single nave and three chapels in the chancel. Along with the transept, the chancel is the truly Visigothic part, built upon perfectly-angled dressed stone. The main body of the church is believed to have been built around the 14th or 15th century.
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.
