What can I say about this abbey? Magnificent Cotentin abbey in a rural setting conducive to inner rest. Ideal for revising your competitions!!! Once again a big thank you for the welcome of the monks and the exquisite cuisine of Brother Pierre!

Mass at the abbey on this feast of the assumption with collective prayer led by the monks. On site, after a visit to the La Trappe shop, tasting of its fine and tasty charcuterie products; she deserves a gold medal at the annual Grand Concours Agricole in Paris!

Beautiful place very peaceful. Too bad the store is only open on weekends. We could not taste the products made by the monks.

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.
