St Cadwaladr's Church

Llangadwaladr, United Kingdom

St Cadwaladr's Church is a Grade I listed church in Llangadwaladr, Anglesey. The church is built in the perpendicular style. The nave is dated to the 12th to early 13th century and the chancel to the 14th. Considerable additions were later made in the mid 17th century, with the north chapel in 1640 and the south chapel in 1661.

A beautiful old church hidden away from the road. The churchyard is well maintained and quirky with a lamppost and giant Celtic cross. Sadly the church itself was locked.

Church is closed due to current restrictions but worth visiting the churchyard to see the impressive Celtic Cross, the oldest in Wales

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.
