Santa Maria in Binda is an ancient and small church, built in Romanesque-style church in Nosate. This church was built here in the 8th century during the Lombard rule of the area; the word Binda in the Lombard language meant a stretch of land, meant to be a stretch of land near the river. Originally and even till the 18th-century, this church served in funeral rites for nearby burials.
The interior was frescoed in the 16th century. The bell-tower, in a Neo-Romanesque style was added in 1926. The church has some anonymous frescoes in a somewhat provincial style from the 15th century, including some depicting various clerics and well-dressed men in a danse macabre.
References: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.
