Historic 15th century monastery, home of Charles V's former lover. You can visit its church or contact the monks for a guided tour. Its landscape surrounded by marshes is worth a stop.

A very nice place to visit and I was surprised to see that there were objects on loan and that for very few euros you could buy books, CDs and all kinds of objects in order to help those most in need.

Laguna Estigia (13 months ago)
Located at the top of a hill and surrounded by vegetation in front and marshes in the back. The church has a beautiful carved wooden altarpiece.

Incredible location, surrounded by the calm waters of the marshes, we heard the afternoon mass in a small church but presided over by an excellent altarpiece with the image of the "Divina Pastora". An extraordinary place

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.
