The masterpiece of flaming gothic, full of statues, paintings, carvings, wonderful stained glasses windows. The most amazing is the rood screen

Beautiful building and the windows are beautiful. Situated at a sweet at a peaceful square with a bar, that is fine to have a beer when able to sit outside. Inside metal music is played, so more body.

Such a beautiful old church. When we were there we were the only people in the church. Just as beautiful as the famous churches in Paris but no crowds at all.

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.
