The Basilica of St. Martin is the main Catholic church of the city of Bingen am Rhein. The church is located on the bank of the Nahe. It was restored and renovated several times, so it is a fusion of different styles. Around 793 the crypt was built, one of the oldest crypts of Austrasia.
The church is dedicated to St. Martin of Tours, who is depicted above the main entrance and in many frescoes and the altarpiece.
In 1416 the church was enlarged and remodeled in the Lombard Gothic style; in 1505 it was beautified with works of art.
The church has been a minor basilica since 1930.
References: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.
