Liebes Presbyterium! Da habt ihr euch ein Eigentor geschossen: mehr als Vierteljahr, also von Januar bis Sonntag Palmare, KEINE Gottesdienste in einer der zentralen Gottesdienststätten der Stadtmitte - wann hat es das jemals in der Geschichte der Alexanderskirche gegeben?!? Und alle Älteren, Menschen mit Rollator bzw. mit sonstigen Gebrechen sollen dann ausweichen können in die Versöhnungskirche ?! Ein Unding wie ich meine... N.B. dazwischen liegen immerhin 55 m Höhenunterschied!

Very beautiful church in the city center. Clean, bright and spacious. Catholic. On the day when we visited the church next to it, a bus arrived on the square with children's toys like they used to be at fairs. Cars, stilts, crossbow, slide. It was interesting not only for children

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.
