Universe of reflection ?

Nice little church with an interesting history: my ancestor was fired from Gram Church for not praying for the Germans to defeat the French and then later came to Harte just north of Germany.

After the death of my wife Else M. Poulsen, I have had very good support from the priest to get through the first time which I felt was a very empty and sad time. A very big thank you to priest Frida Dion Poulsen

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.
