Vihterpalu Manor

Vihterpalu, Estonia

In 1622, Vihterpalu estate was granted to Thomas von Ramm by the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus. The present building probably dates from the 19th century and is in a late Neoclassical style. Elisabeth von Ramm married Gustav von Knorrig in 1816 and they started to build a new main building, which was completed in the 1820s. The façade is dominated by a central pedimented section.

Today Vihterpalu manor provides accomodation, event and conference services.

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.
