There is probably an attitude in Rakvere that "snow is our friend, we don't touch him". There are many sidewalks in the city center that have never been snowed all winter and have not seen any sand or granite screens. There is now an almost half-meter uneven layer of ice. There are ice rinks around the railway station, moving between the station and the city center is dangerous even for a healthy and athletic man. How do older people or parents with children move around the city? Shameful negligence! If the argument is that these sidewalks belong to private owners, why are they not fined? And this is not the first such winter.

What a calm and peaceful place to sit and see the water fountains making extraordinary scenes of rainbows in the summers. Right in the middle surrounded by many cafes and grocery stores to buy snacks. ?

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.
