Ramsberg Castle

Donzdorf, Germany

The Ramsberg Castle was built around 1200-1225 probably by the knight Ulrich von Plochingen and Konrad, the monk from Rechenberg. In 1327-1529 the castle was owned by the lords of Rechenberg. The Gothic chapel was built in 1560. It was initially dedicated to St. Margaret and later to St. Martin. Between 1560 and 1580 the castle was rebuilt a second time.

Interesting historical site, it is a pity that it is not open to the public

Ramsberg Castle stands on the mountain of the same name between Donzdorf, Süßen and Reichenbach on the edge of the Swabian Albtrauf. Due to intensive renovations, it is in a very good condition and can also be entered up to in front of the inner courtyard. To give a bad rating for this, just because you are not allowed to enter the "private area", I do not consider it proportionate, which is why I give a full 5/5 points for the facility and the surrounding area with a great panoramic advantage to the left of the building (photo). We have a beautiful home!

Privately owned. Inaccessible. You see nothing except the back of the building. No view, no landscape. Getting there (on foot) is not worth it.

It's not worth the walk, it might be interesting if it's open to the public, it's privately owned

Um das Jahr 2000 hat offenbar das Land und oder der Landkreis mehrere Millionen DM gezahlt, um das einsturzgefährdete Dach zu retten. Ich finde es eine absolute Sauerei, dass hierfür öffentliche Gelder aufgewendet wurden, aber die Burganlange, dann nicht zumindest teilweise der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich ist.

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.
