Stångby church is located in the old village. When the railway arrived in the 1800s transferred much of the village south to Lund and is now next Pågatåg Station and Tower embankment. The church dates back to the 1100s. It played an important role during the Battle of Lund in 1676 and was intended as a Swedish viewpoint, but the battles were fought farther south. However, held an impromptu staff meeting on horseback a few hundred meters from the church. Where Charles XI decided to deliver battle and Skåne became Swedish. Both the Swedish, Danish and Scanian history was thus next Stångby church.

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.
