We had an exceptional stay at the Relais Saint Roch and highly recommend it. We booked at the last minute, exhausted after a long stop on the Chemins de St-Jacques. Christian kept watch until our late arrival, Marie-Hélène and he took great care of us until our departure. We chose the “Verbena” room, which perfectly matched the photos. Our room was spotless, the breakfast was copious in a cozy English manor-style atmosphere, and the swimming pool was very pleasant and clean (with toilets available).

We were welcomed like kings after a grueling hike! Champagne and cupcakes… The hosts took care to welcome us with great attention. We were lucky enough to have some sunshine to enjoy the pool and to dine in this incredible home. Dinner was so delicious…we will be back with lots of Pleasure …

Very stylish hotel. I arrived there after a 33 km on 'el camino' and was so happy to enjoy the pool and refresh under the trees in the park. Quality & amenities are perfect although a bit old-fashioned. Seems time has stopped at this place about 50 years ago. Owners are doing the very best to satisfy their guests and you will feel there 'a la maison'. On the negative side the Sauna is extra and there is no restaurant. I highly recommend.

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.
