Night visit in the past of the castle which associates anguish fear nervous laughter !! I recommend completely. The speakers are really in their role, the guide is scary. All this in a very beautiful castle which is conducive to a terrifying visit. We went there as a family and loved it. We will go back for other events, sure !!!

More than pleasant guided visit to the Château de Trélon. The guide is very understanding, kind, cultured and funny. He made us discover every corner of the castle with elegance and romanticism. The place offers an ideal panoramic view of the fields. We feel good and rested, in the company of a squirrel seen near a tree. The rooms are very luxurious and loaded with a fascinating story that the guide has managed to convey to us with precision.

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.
