The parish church dedicated to St. Dorothy was probably erected by the end of the 15th century. In the end of the 16th century a bell tower was added to the nave. It was renovated and partially transformed at the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries. The interior is decorated with a renaissance polychrome from the mid 16th century and with a mannerist one form the mid-17th century. The chapel is among the oldest of the corner joining wooden churches.

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.
