Döbschütz Castle

Döbschütz, Germany

Döbschütz Castle was built on the right bank of the Schwarzen Schöps was probably built in the 10th-12th centuries. Its existence can be proven for the 10th century, where drawings on the house wall are the basis, and an old kitchen from around 1000 was uncovered in the cellar. In 1874 part of the castle burned down, which was followed by extensive renovations.

The castle was sold in 2001 to the Rößler family, who completely renovated it and opened a museum in 2003. There are also guest rooms in the castle.

After registering in advance via smartphone, there is an appointment for a visit. The castle is privately built and it has been very well done. Nice people and the best information. Recommendable.

A beautiful, rustic, historic and well-preserved moated castle in an idyllic location. A perfect backdrop for great photos. What impressed me even more were the lords of the castle. They are nice and always helpful and lovely people. Thank you for a great and unforgettable day with a medieval and romantic atmosphere.

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.
