A very interesting historical landmark and surroundings. We enjoyed a lovely and tasty lunch lunch.

Fine food and snacks,, but the building is very nice, you can go into a room next to the cafe and there you’ll find some more old rooms from the fort.

Camped here for one night. Quite a lovely place, worth a visit! We were in luck with a quiet moment, apparently it can get very crowded during the weekends and holidays. Sanitary building was kept neat. There was also a possibility to keep any groceries cold in a fridge and take shelter in case of bad weather. The only minus that stood out was the little space between the camping spots.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on a cycling trip. Had a salmon club which was delicious as well as a radler and a coffee. No English menu but the staff helped me through it. Went to pay with visa (all I had on me) and we learned it was not possible. They were gracious enough to provide my lunch on the house! Bottom line great food and hospitable staff!

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.
