It is a truly beautiful church with beautifully restored ceiling paintings, and there are two special organs. Guides in church during the summer months can tell you much more about this. The church is free to enter, Tues-Fri 2 to 5 and Sat 1 to 4.

Why are those churches in the Netherlands always closed during the week? Take an example from Germany or Belgium.

Beautiful church. What is told on Sunday is also worth it. So not just for tourism ?

Church and main square of the beautiful town of Hattem.

Beautiful church with a true testimony through the life of Pastor Bernardus Hazen. Who took office in 1533 and despite all rejections continued to obey The Path of The Lord Jesus The Messiah and continued to follow His Will in spite of everything. An example for us all

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.
