A private but open castle for visit. Entrance requires a visit to the guardians house and paying 3 euros to enter. The entrance is somewhat confusing as the signage is misleading. Just go through (if unlocked) and follow the signs to the guardians house. He'll explain everything (as long as you can find him). The castle itself is an interesting place. A supplied pamphlet explains the history and you can explore much of the castle though the walls are sealed/closed off. A Tower is explorable and you can go to the top though needs further restoration. Its not a bad castle and very scenic but needs more restoration really to highlight its history. Right now it looks like its been restored to a state where it can be hired out for functions.

A surprising place! And friendly owners! The ruins are maintained and can be visited. Our children (6 and 7 years old) loved it. 3€/adult

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.
