It's such a pretty church. To look at with all the craving.

From the outside, as it was very sadly locked to pilgrims, it is an amazingly beautiful building. The portico is tremendous and we must salute the great Christain masons from centuries gone by who were so skilled and able to create such an amazing church. So sad we can't go inside though.

It's located on the pilgrim route into Estella just as you enter the city. It seems to be just a unused ruin now although it is well worth stopping to appreciate the highly skilled work that produced the intricate facade and doorway. Apparently Gothic 13th 14th century.

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.
