The Celtic camp of La Bure, located in Lorraine, France, is one of the many fortified hilltop sites bordering the Upper Meurthe Valley. The plateau, now covered by forest, is shared between the communes of Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and Hurbache, at the western edge of the Ormont massif.
This hilltop settlement, of the 'spur' type, fortified to the east, is situated on a sandstone promontory overlooking the Meurthe Valley by more than 200 meters. It was intensely occupied during the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, particularly at the end of the second Iron Age and the period of Gallic independence, as well as throughout most of the Roman period, from the 2nd to the 4th century AD. The site's occupation dates back at least to the Late Neolithic, as evidenced by numerous stone artifacts made from flint, such as chisels, scrapers, blades, arrowheads, and polished axes crafted from other materials.
A few shards of green-glazed pottery are believed to date from the Middle Ages. This archaeological collection is stored and partially displayed in the archaeological section of the Pierre-Noël Museum in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, where a model of the entire site can also be seen.
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.
