The accommodation was great & the landlords were really very friendly and tried very hard! In addition, the accommodation is dog-friendly, so not only we, but also our dog had a great time :) Thank you for the great stay! We'd love to come back :) Greetings Alina & Aaron with dog Hilda

Romantic ambience, pretty surroundings. You can go for walks directly from the palace complex — ideal for dog owners. Count and Countess Waldburg are very friendly and hard-working. In the immediate vicinity is a very well-run village shop with everything you need, and the wonderful Gasthof Krone Schenke with very good service and the finest food! Recommended!

We spent a few wonderful, very relaxing days in the castle cottage. Great ambience, a moated castle to fall in love with. Quiet environment very nice for hiking. A great village shop, butcher and village tavern where you can eat very well in the immediate vicinity. Very nice hosts. Our dogs also felt very comfortable. Thank you very much we would love to come back

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.
