Château de Buzet-sur-Baïse was built originally in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th century. There was actually two castles on the site and the church. Castles were burned down in 1293-1294 by the English army. Today the oldest parts date from the late 13th century. The chateau was restored in the 17th century. With its outbuildings and its park, it was acquired in 2018 by the Buzet winegrowers cooperative cellar and must occasionally host cultural or festive events. It is not open to visitors.
Until then, the old 13th century castle chapel, altered in the 16th century, served as a parish church. Decommissioned after part of the vault collapsed in 1849, its remains remain.
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.
