Historical sources indicate that the predecessor of the current Oberwerris Castle stood on this place already in 1284. The palace complex which stands here today consists of several buildings from different eras. The most important of them is the two-storey brick castle with sandstone trim, built at the junction of the 17th and 18th centuries. To the north of it there is a hut - the oldest building of the complex.
Inside Oberwerris Castle you can admire a fireplace dating to 1672, transformed into a Gothic arched window. There is a baroque garden near the gatehouse. The stables, adjoining the kennel, are to the east of the main house. Oberwerris Castle is used mainly for conferences and receptions. The training center of the Gymnastics Federation of the North Rhine - Westphalia land is also on its territory.
References: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.
