The. Castle and the view is beautiful, the castle park is very small, we didn't dare to look inside because there are many companies in it, but the walk to the castle was nice.

Charming chateau, beautiful bright rooms. Various business premises eg. Hairdresser, beauty room, costume tailor, artist, antiques...etc. The BnB is worth an overnight stay. The view is so beautiful and wide. Just great. Yesterday and today there were still market stands, yodelling with fine sausages, yodelling, castle coffee shop, balloon artists and various attractions. Just great. Absolutely again. Thank you for these beautiful moments.

+Nice castle with a nice courtyard and beautiful surroundings! +Free parking directly at the entrance +Friendly people +Lift, toilets, self-service drinks/coffee corner Was there for a course, Perfect experience! - Google Maps does not understand the end of the journey. Leads to a dead end and then wants you to hop over the creek and climb up the castle wall! ? Finally, follow the signs to SchlafSchloss ?

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.
