Wonderful place to stay. My daughter and I stayed for a few days in the 3 bedroom apartment at the end of May. No one else was even there. This is a fantastic hidden gem. We will definitely stay again next tome in germany. My only regret was we were unable to stay longer. We ABSOLUTELY loved it!!!!

We just walked around the grounds and took few photos. We didn't go inside. Nice old castle. The brochure says you can rent the place for functions.

Just a courtyard, impressive building, would be cool to actually see more than just the courtyard though.

This place is seriously magnificent, I went there on a trip and was blown away by the historical background and nighttime lighting

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.
