No possibility drove up to the ruins.

Ruins of a medieval castle on the lake. From what I read, the castle is currently in private hands, some work is underway there, so perhaps it will become an attractive tourist destination. At the moment, it is a bit disappointing. Nice views, the proximity of the lake is definitely an advantage. Nice idea for a point during a bike trip.

An interesting, though severely dilapidated building, lying on the shores of a small lake, which, interestingly, was a defensive church, and later a castle and the seat of various families. The current owner tries to protect the remains of the building with modest means, and even recreate something there (a fragment of the wall). However, you can only dream of a reconstruction such as Poledno, Gniew or Świecie. The passionate present there told in an interesting and accessible way about the facility itself and its situation.

The ruins of the castle are not in the best condition. You can see that it was "taken care of" not long ago - the walls are protected against the destructive effects of time. Entry to the castle is forbidden - dangerous. When we got near the ruins, a gentleman who said we were on private property appeared and asked us to leave it. I do not know who is the owner (administrator) of the ruins and who can stay and under what rights.

The place is a private area, so you cannot enter and explore.

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.
