Notre-Dame de Beaugency Abbey was built in the 12th century. It has witnessed major episodes in the history of France, particularly in relation to the Hundred Years War. Today fragmented between several establishments, it is open to visitors

An abbey church without a bell, the Saint-Firmin bell tower without a church provides ringing, replacing the bells of the abbey church. A completely pleasant abbey, for the expert tourist in search of heritage riches, for the walker in search of pretty things, or simply to discover this soothing place full of ancient and rare architecture which is to be visited when passing by. in Beaugency. Built in the 11th, 12th, 15th and 17th centuries, I really liked its Romanesque heart with an ambulatory and recent stained glass windows.

Very pretty cathedral with nice light effects on the colourful windows. The entrance is free of course. I recommend you take few minutes inside at the end of the day when light go through it. Peaceful, relaxing, not much poeple around.

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.
