A sweaty climb (bicycle), but the view and the sight of the castle are impressive. It was not possible to visit the castle.

Very nice property, but no entry possible as it is private.

You can also find such a private castle while collecting mushrooms. There have been nicer days, but an attractive location.

Very impressive building in great condition (as far as an assessment is possible). I think it's great that this castle has survived the centuries to tell of its eventful and incredible history. I recommend the Wikipedia article on the castle to everyone.

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.
