Beautiful place

Fantastic and atmospheric state in a beautiful location. Worth a visit. Support Staten and Stinzen.

A beautiful piece of history with a beautiful forest. The area is ideal for beautiful walks. The kruidhof in Buitenpost is also worth a visit.

Prachtige buitenplaats en schitterend authentiek ingerichte vertrekken. Je waant je echt terug in de tijd. Heel bijzonder.

Weinig mensen ontmoet hier in de tuin. Of het is onbekend of de 1€ entree houdt mensen tegen. De architect heeft er wat moois van gemaakt. Het ontwerp is nog steeds na jaren te herkennen. Bijzondere elementen: een berg, hertenkamp, waterpartij en kruisbrug. Een uurtje of 2 kun je zo in de tuin doorbrengen.

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.
