A lovely church. Classic church room with a modern touch. Nice soundscape for music performances and a newly renovated lovely organ that is truly integrated into the church.

If you love Scania, you should go here. This church that is like a cathedral. In the middle of the Scanian landscape. A must see before resting there.

The church is built in neo-gothic style, it resembles a cathedral. The church was inaugurated in 1897, when it replaced an older church that was demolished in 1895, from which, among other things, the baptismal font, the statue of Jesus and the large chandelier closest to the altar come from. The church was built predominantly with material from Asmundtorp's brickworks. It is a welcoming and warm church with a beautiful, loving and welcoming statue of Jesus. The statue is made in a single piece of marble.

Nice neo-Gothic church. Suitable for experiencing choirs and concerts in addition to the fine church work in the congregation.

A "cathedral" in the middle of the countryside! Pampish and beautiful, both outside and inside.

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.
