Sainte-Gauburge Priory

Saint-Cyr-la-Rosière, France

The Sainte-Gaubuge priory was originally a hamlet, which is very well preserved. All the houses are located around the priory. The church building dates from the 13th, 15th and 18th century. The canons of St. Denis are at the origin of the most beautiful architecture sites. Rich carved decorations (13th and 15th century), the house of the prior has magnificent chimneys listed (15th century), and the vaults (13th century) are worth of seeing. Guided tours are available.

Small, very nice and affordable museum (free for children under 18) which allows visitors to discover the history and know-how of a territory and a bygone era. The priory and its orchard are to be discovered! Friendly and attentive welcome, thank you!

Very friendly welcome, The visit to the museum is interesting, the explanations are well notified, the rooms are interesting, my partner and I love the floor, the objects are well presented because the universes are very distinct. The visit of the priory is instructive but .. It still lacks explanatory panels on certain things, especially in the courtyard behind, on the trees, etc. In any case we loved this visit, we will definitely come back.

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.
