We visited the castle and toured the rooms. Very nice setting. We did not stay at the hotel, but visited for a day. A large part of the front gate and keep was off-limits for visitors, likely due to safety and restoration, but was a disappointment for our young boys who live to explore castles. It was a nice place to explore and relax.

It is a bit out of the beaten path, but worth a visit if you are in the area. The view from the top is amazing.

Really cool place to check out. One of the most legit castles I've ever been too, besides Carcassonne in France. Very awesome place

WAY to expensive tickets!!! Half, if not more, of the castle is closed off, you pay 28 PLN to see a few rooms with bunch of random furniture. Take a picture from the outside and save yourself the money! Only up is that there is free parking

I took one star from the service just because they couldn't speak English and the menu was handwriten so I couldn't translate or understand then I decided not to eat there, but the staff is kind even if not speaking English, which was nice. The place had toilets, some tables and chairs to eat/chill and good parking area inside the castle. Everything really clean.

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.
