Beautifully restored church with a monumental organ. A visit to the church is definitely worth it.

Great beautiful church for concerts, etc. very old church of 68 meters long. At this time there was a concert. The church has digital screens to see everything clearly. Nice overview of everything. Highly recommended to come and see the church. Open daily from 9am to 5pm

Impressive interior! Such a building in such a small community ... Definitely worth a visit, even if it doesn't look like it from the outside (apart from the imposing size)

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.
