Castle difficult to find. You have to take a narrow path for several kilometers. It is a fortified castle with a dungeon with a dwelling next to it. Attention, this place cannot be visited, even if it is indicated in the guides. It is private property and at the end of the road, there is no place to park and as the property is closed by a gate, it is very difficult to turn around. A dirt track extending the road overlooks the property and provides a view of the castle.

Super well received by the owners who only receive groups. For our Vitalité Stretch Bien-être association, July 13 was our last stretch session and it was a success. 1 hour lesson and an improvised picnic at the foot of the castle. This evening will remain in our memories. Thanks again to the owners

Attention can not be visited because it is a private property. Nevertheless, the charming owner let us have a look around. Very beautiful property, very well maintained castle and superb garden. Absolutely calm and very relaxing. Nice discovery.

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.
