Bužim Castle was built during the 12th century, and is located at 325 metres above sea level. It was the second-biggest medieval castle in Cazinska krajina, after Bihać. The castle is an example of renaissance architecture, and served as both a military hill fort and a residence for the nobility. Bužim Castle and a nearby old mosque are protected as national monuments in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Once the home to a Croatian Noble Family to a great Monument of History of Krajina! It has amazing views and History is very much preserved here, as the Old Mosque, Renovated Tower, and even the underground passages. Sadly, parts of the lower and upper fort are covered in graffiti, Nonkept Grass, and trash. I will appreciate if the municipality keeps an eye for this great Symbol of not only Buzim but the entire Region of Bosanska Krajina. Would visit if passing by!

Dominant position over Bužim. Very old, but pourly maintained. Recommend to visit.

The view from up there is beautiful but the castle itself is not secured and on windy days dangerous.

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.
