Got a gift from family so me and my husband came to get a look from inside the castle. So amazed with how they maintain everything to stay original. We had a really good time during our visit there. It was really worth our time. Had a better knowledge about the history. We really appreciate how good the guide to inform us about the story in every room.

It's a beautiful garden. I would highly recommend paying the entrance fee and going to the gardens if they are open. I was there on a Saturday and didn't see more than 4 more groups there, so it seemed as it was our own park! The castel itself was not open, and the entrance to the park is about 150m from where the castle is.

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.
