Such an amazing architecture. Probably one of the famous sites in auvers because of Van Gogh's painting. Definitely worth the visit, better to do a bike or hiking tour in Auvers and this is a must visit.

A very beautiful church

The church made famous by Van Gogh. Fairly typical of its period, it's rather pretty but no more so than many other churches. However, the painting changes everything. Unfortunately, it's not in the best condition. From the interior, the church tower looks to have been shored up to strengthen it.

Worth the visit. You can stand at a spot where Van gogh was standing when he painted the church and wonder how he would have felt if his paintings would be loved by billions of people around the globe.

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.
