The castle is in ruins and it would be nice to walk on it, but closed, in Belgian, private plate, nothing more and a padlock, it's a pity.

Why these beautiful remains of that castle under lock and key? this would be a nice addition to the beautiful surroundings, cycling and walking routes. this could attract many extra walkers to the region. hopefully this will change one day.

Unable to enter it because it's private property.

Very beautiful ruin of the castle of Fagnolle, unfortunately not accessible to discover it. we have the impression that there is renovation and security of the place, I hope for a future opening.

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.
