Great views and nice places to sit after the hike up. I was not expecting the cemetery. So many more recent burials in a very old town. Intriguing.

St. George’s Church in Primošten is a beautiful historic site, perched atop the island with stunning views. First recorded in 1681, it offers a peaceful and scenic spot to explore. A charming alleyway leads up to the church from the main square, adding to the experience of wandering through the old town. Worth a visit for both its history and picturesque setting!"

St. George’s Church is one of the most beautiful sites in Primošten. The church at the top of the island was first recorded in 1681 by the glagolitic parish priest Pavo Bernic. A nice alleyway leads here from the main square in the old town (and from other directions as well). There is a graveyard surrounding the church so it’s important to be respectful and not just look for nice views of Primošten walking over the graves. There are also public toilets at the site that were open and free. You should definitely visit this beautiful place. This is a nice location to witness wonderful Primošten sunsets.

Awesome view around the half island. This is a cemetery Chapel though.

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.
