Scary place. We stayed there for 2 nights. There were no lights, mud EVERYWHERE, and very rude owners. NO HOT WATER!!!! Mean dog that barked at us whenever we left. There were MICE!!! Making noises throughout the night. Also not sure if there is a ghost or not, but it sounded like people walking throughout the night. Left the place completely spotless and the owner told us that we left the place insanely dirty. Complete lie. We hand washed all the dishes and made all of the beds. Everything in the house looked EXACTLY how we found it. Never would recommend to anyone coming here. Find somewhere else to stay or else they will expect you to deep clean the place or hire a maid!! Awful experience. Never again.

We stayed their 2 nights and would not stay again. We paid a non-refundable cleaning deposit and then the owner complained the kitchen was not clean when we left even though I hand washed all dishes and made sure all garbage was in garbage. Place was clean when we left but I guess he wantss to pocket cleaning deposit instead of using it to clean. The place itself is strange and I do not recommend as the owner who lives there will be all over you. No hot water first day. Not worth it.

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.
