Beautiful place to visit

An excellent place if you are ok with a simple but very affordable room in the hotel wing of the monastery. Very clean and quiet place with stunning view over the city. The breakfast is very good.

Beautiful and seen place. The church is a must see, the garden also. The cafe is big and was very busy. But stunning views. A great place to either meet a friend for a coffee or to contemplate.

We went there for a conference with my husband and our two toddlers. We have a good attention, and they provide us want we need. I woul say is family friendly, but need more playground or something for kids.

By far the best hotel in Fulda and surroundings! The location is perfect, especially when you have a room overlooking the city and the breakfast is good. The rooms are in the monastery itself, which is beautifully kept alive, with monks still living there. The walk down to the city is a long one, but worth it. I wouldn't think of another place to stay in Fulda.

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.
