Immersed in nature and in the beauty of history.

Unfortunately you can not define the castle, but rather a ruin, shame to leave the total neglect such a structure, have gone from Roccavaldina a village close, well cared upper Venetico a totally abandoned village itself, there are places like this enviable but unloved by the people who administer them and who live there.

On the map defined castle, but then after having done a little 'way by car and a lot of climbing on foot you find yourself in front of a ruin covered with weeds and brambles. A pity, the only thing beautiful the view

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.
