Interesting historic ruins. Nice walking paths with some informative signs to help understand the ruins.

Wonderful ruins of and ancient fortress. Simple nameplates and an artistic interpretation made in metal what might have been going on in several remains of buildings helps to create a mental image of how life once was there. Free and easy to reach. Certainly recommend a visit if you're nearby.

Château Ganne is accessible all year round, you can go for walks in a large park. In summer, there are activities and from autumn you can simply rely on the application offered via a QR Code, you will be independent. Let yourself be guided through these ruins!

Nice place to visit when you happen to be in the area. Castle dates from 12th century and unfortunately there is not much left to see.

Even if there is not much left of the castle, the place is magnificent with its trees several hundred years old and an extraordinary calm that reigns there. Well worth the detour.

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.
