Great panoramic view, historical attraction and easy to get there...

Beautiful castle, overlooking the valley and mountains, some great photo-ops, and free of charge.

We’re really happy we made this stop. What a great panoramic view there is to behold here, on a bright day. I didn’t learn too much about the castle itself, but it is definitely worth a stop, for the view alone!

Beautiful place with the nice views on Sondrio. It can be reached from Castello Masegra.

Great place for a walk with a beautiful view all around the top. Come here on a clear day! The actual castle area is locked so make sure to double check opening hours before your visit. If you come when it’s closed, you can see enjoy nice views from the church down the street. There are plenty of free parking spots nearby.

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.
