Gustav Adolfs church, a beautiful and wonderfully tall Church, is a real masterpiece and grace in this area. This was quite close to where I lived, in StureGatan, Boras. Gustav Adolfs church is a church belonging to Borås Gustav Adolfs parish in Skara diocese . The church was built in 1903-1906. It's more than 110 years old, and if you have ever gone inside, you would never want to come out(if u love architecture), as it is having a very unique, neo-Gothic style of Architecture.

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.
