Exaltations of the Cross Church was built before 1367. The brick Gothic church had three naves and star vaulting. In the 15th century the church was burnt by Hussites and again 1577 it suffered damages in the battle during the Danzig rebellion. Between 1585 and 1945 it was a Lutheran Church and survived from the World War II. Today Exaltations of the Cross Church is a Roman Catholic church. The richly decorated interior is well-preserved, including a Renaissance style pulpit from 1578.
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.
