Charming little collection of cars and bikes! Understand this is a private collection of cars through the ages. Nothing out of this world but definitely a great stop off place. Super collection of model vehicles too! Easy to let the kids run up and down the lanes, there is also a fire engine and collection of toy ride on vehicles. One for young enthusiasts.

Fantastic. Perfect gift for men! Not hot at all in mid September.

The museum is very interesting but the only reason for the 4 star is just how boiling hot it was inside!

Anyone with even a paving interest in cars will enjoy this! If you're over thirty you can pass a good hour looking for cars 'born' in the same year as you (1965 for me) whilst being amazed at the range and quality of this collection; which I think is privately owned. Entry included in the Reims/Epernay Pass

Pros: parking for free, English speaking staff, cheap, wc available, small shop, 1 big hall with old cars and 1 smaller room with car-toys, interesting for kids especially for boys... Cons: a little bit cold inside, only a few vehicle brands, no English notes

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.
