A very nice, Renaissance church from 1635-44. A very interesting building in terms of architecture.

A beautiful place where you can definitely feel the souls of the Renaissance. The interior is beautiful. I recommend.

Sebastian Limek (2 years ago)
One of the most beautiful examples of the Lublin Renaissance, characterized by e.g. very decorative and distinctive attics, delicate, sandy-white colors, massive buttresses and an interior with stucco-covered vaults. In this church it is all there, and at the same time in the most outstanding form of it.

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.
