Super sweetly received and drank the tastiest late macchiato in northern Netherlands ?

Gun turret could be viewed inside, but can be seen in about a minute. The gardens look neatly planted. Then in the tearoom less pleasant experience with a snarling managerial employee, I would not recommend the place because of this - we did not feel welcome

Regularly some cyclists or walkers who pass here. An oasis of peace. After viewing the old gun tower (you'll soon be done with that), we also walked through the historic herb garden. All beautifully in bloom in mid-June. We couldn't skip the terrace at the tearoom. Fortunately not only tea here .... The cup of coffee with apple pie tasted great. It also looks nice inside.

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.
