Beautifully located in Laag Keppel, a pity we could not walk around it. Beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful castle, unfortunately private. But while you are there, there is both a wind and water mill opposite.

Prachtig wandel gebied en aan de andere kant van het kasteel ook een mooi fiets gebied. Aan deze kant gebleven want hier is het rustiger, maar aan de andere kant heb je nog een mooie molentje met waterrad. Hier een mooi wandel gebied, dat je nog voort kunt zetten in de bossen aan de overkant van de rijksweg. Een mooi kasteel, blijft jammer dat je daar niet in de tuin kunt lopen.

Along the river IJssel, in the town of Laag Keppel, is starkly hidden behind fences and "no entry" signs, Keppel Castle. Founded around 1300, it had quite a turbulent history.

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.
