The Big Castle is a 14th-century castle near the town of Deurne, in the Dutch province North Brabant. Since 1944 it is a ruin rebuilt as it must have been before the 2nd world war.

Ruin with history, around 1400, in a beautiful park, with catering, animals and tennis courts of TC Deurne. Nice to combine with other historical places in Deurne. Such as museum de Wieger (garden path of my father - known for the song by Wim Sonneveld). Also nice is the DAF walk, including past the house of the founder of DAF (van Doorne). The name that also reappears at the castle ruins, the lords of Doerne.

42Deurne cycling around I came upon this 14th C. ruin surrounded by water. The area has a lot of life with the De Vlier stream running though a green space with meadows a small petting zoo and a nice bistro. #railthetrails

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.
