There is not much left but ruins and an orientation sign. It is not on the way to any mythical place. Still, spectacular location.

Gorgeous old ruins

Another must-see place if you are in O Courel. The castle only has a few walls left, but the enclave is beautiful for its views, both from the viewpoint and from the climb or castle along a steep side and from the top of it. Several hiking trails pass through and reach it.

A spectacular place to stop on the winding road, from which to observe the remains of the castle and admire the surrounding environment as far as the eye can see.

A little difficult to get to. Beautiful but better to go see it without rain because of the slippery terrain

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.
