If you around Steckborn go and see this nice ruin.. The Neuburg above Mammern in the Swiss canton of Thurgau was built in the middle of the 13th century by Baron Ulrich III. built by Altenklingen. Since 1319 she was as a fief of the monastery of St. Gallen in changing ownership. In 1690 she acquired the monastery Rheinau. The hill castle was however canceled 1745. Today, however, are still extensive ruins with remains of the great curtain wall to see. From the main castle the remains of the foundations of the keep are preserved.

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.
