Ehrenburg Castle

Brodenbach, Germany

Ehrenburg Castle was built on a promontory in the Ehrbach valley (Ehrbachtal), a tributary valley of the Mosel. It was once used as the fortified centre of a small reign between Mosel and Rhine. Today it is a cultural monument (Kulturdenkmal) with a variety of events. The oldest, still preserved part of this castle is the remains of a steady house, a rectangular residential tower. It is assumed that the construction work, for this at first small castle of the Staufer, started in the first half of the 12th century.

Ehrenburg.. legend has it, lovers who promise each other eternal love here, will stay together for rest of their lives.. castle itself got some fascinating stories.. and a beautiful view from the top.. there’s a beautiful arch with roses, wonder how fairy like it will be when it blooms fully.. ? Castle entrance is 4€ pp.. the ticket says it’s maintained by a non profit and the amount goes entirely to preserve the place.. There is a hotel inside for 130€ +.. on the courtyard you can see craftsman busy with demonstrating their work like old age.. fun for kids..

Very beautiful location for a wedding, the view and the decorations are great! Authentic show, very entertaining and high quality - Jürgen was the best: he plays every old instrument and knows how to tell a story. Really enjoyed the games, tour and his music. The service was nice and did their best. Unfortunately, the management was not very motivated and the planning was chaotic, almost unprofessional, very little communication before and during wedding. That was a shame.

Such an amazing place, not just to shoot a wedding but the whole atmosphere was really cool, if felt like you were really transported back to the olden times and drinking beer and shooting bow and arrows, the stuff were also very good. and the room where beautiful.

There is a sign that it is open every day from 11 am, from Easter till All saints day. I walked 15 min only to find i can not enter. I see that bar is open, but drinks have never been so unreachable. Incredible inhospitality. ??

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.
