Limbricht Castle

Limbricht, Netherlands

Limbricht Castle originates from the 10th century. It was first a motte castle with a wooden tower. The stone buildings were erected around 1250. During the 80 years war the army of Duke of Parma looted the castle (1579). During the Napoleon wars it was a military hospital (1813-1814) and during the World War I an internment camp for German prisoners-of-war. The current castle building dates from the early 1600s and is built on Maasland Renaissance style.

The service is really unfriendly...The food was not cooked fresh, it was warmed up... One person didn't come with us and we wanted to take him something as takeaway. The portions were big, so we decided to take the rests to our hotel, as we did many times before (it is not our first stay in the Netherlands), but the cook had forbidden us to do that!?!?) He said there is a law...Heee???? Are takeaways also forbidden in the Netherlands?? So everyone just breaks the law??? Awful experience!!!

Venue stunning, food is very basic and tap water is chargeable! If they improved upon the food offered this place could be incredible! Iced drinks and coffee menu for the summer would be a bonus!

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.
