Very beautiful castle located on a mountain, with the Bronner Cave underneath, the climb is very steep but the cave is really worth seeing. Signposted from the end of Buchheim

Beautiful castle, but it is a private house and cannot be entered. But it's a great photo opportunity on the Donauwelle hiking trail.

I don't understand a lot of the entries here...it IS privately owned AND inhabited by TENANTS, why should it be possible to just get in there? Do you let people into your home? It's like in a museum: look, don't touch!

It's impressive how this castle stands on the towering rocks. Great photo opportunity, I would be very interested to see what it looks like from the inside. Unfortunately it is closed as it is privately owned.

Nice castle. Worth a visit. There are many hiking and cycling trails in the area. Worth a visit. However, you cannot visit it.

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.
