Saint-Ferme, France

The origin of Saint-Ferme Abbey is unknown, but it was probably founded in the 6th-8th centuries. The current buildings date from the 12th and later centuries. During the Hundred Years' War the abbey was fortified and surrounded by ditches. It was dissolved in the late 18th century and the church has been used since then as a parish church.

Il n'y a pas grand chose à visiter, mais l'ensemble du bâtiment est imposant. L'église a un certain charme.

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.
