Château de Montataire, Montataire, France

The Château de Montataire is a 12th-century castle in the commune of Montataire. The castle was constructed in the 12th century by Count Renaud II de Clermont (c. 1074 – c. 1154). It comprises a right-angled corps de logis flanked by four round towers of different diameters. The building was subject to several alterations up to the 19th century. The grounds now contain several buildings but are not accessible to the public.

The castle is in the rue de l'Église, but is not visible from the public domain except at a distance from the rue Lénine in the east.

A wonderful afternoon (Saturday June 24)! A detailed visit, with the Notre Dame collegiate church which is next to the castle. The owner is passionate and fascinating, we would like to stay with her to listen to her talk about Montataire for hours on end. The visit ends for those who wish with a snack at the castle (additional payment) A visit date opens approximately every 2 months, to be monitored on the castle website. Don't waste time and come and discover this place in 2 months ;)

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.
