Very beautiful church. Beautiful interior paintings

A little flashback to my childhood. Castelsarrasin has become a very pretty little town, and the red brick church with its tower is very original and well maintained. The neighborhood is very pleasant ?

Nothing to say, closed. Sad city, even if we were able to quench our thirst at the Café Chaud, pleasant welcome, only bistro open in the city center

Very very beautiful church... What more can be said ? We can return without problems... And come there every Sunday.

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.
