No spectacular, but nice church. However, spectacularly incompetent church musicians and sound technicians. The church musician often plays very uncertainly and incorrectly at both funerals and weddings. Would rather be without music at my funeral than let him play. Then we have the sound engineer who is both extremely unpleasant and does not seem to have the faintest idea of ​​how neither a microphone nor sound and acoustics work. He works actively to ensure that the church (which actually has fine acoustics) is filled with roundabouts and he does not compensate by being pleasant or pleasant. He has both insulted and sworn at me at funerals and is usually extremely careless, unpleasant and unpleasant. It is embarrassing that the church, which is financed by the church tax, employs such staff when there are many competent people waiting for jobs.

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.
