We are just casual passers-by in this beautiful village. We are impressed by this beautiful building into which your ancestors put a lot of energy and creative work, so that the tower is still standing after hundreds of years. The building is cracked from top to bottom in 2 places. So it will cost a lot of money and labor to repair this. But this legacy is so unique that it has to be done. With a little imagination one can imagine the scenes that have taken place here over the centuries. What a beautiful monument in a beautiful country that is Spain.

El castillo de Mazuelo es una de las fortalezas mejor conservadas de toda la provincia. Presenta una torre del homenaje de planta cuadrada que aparece rodeada por una cerca en la que destaca una barbacana con dos cubos. De finales del siglo XIV o comienzos del XV. Perteneció, entre otras familias, a los Carrillo, Rojas y Cerezo.

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.
