Pretty charming estate, with buildings from the 12-13th + 16th century. Interesting when combined with lodgings for events (any wedding, family reunion, etc.) in order to be able to stay together while enjoying the place. The lodgings are (summary of gathered opinions) uneven and SOMETIMES basic/perfectible from the point of view of equipment or fittings but in any case always clean and comfortable, especially if we take into account the age and heritage character of the places . Good bedding. Pets prohibited on the estate. Only certain lodgings are accessible to people with reduced mobility. It’s a shame that the castle or the chapel are not open to visitors.

The location is easy to find and indicated. Once you get to the parking lot you start to wonder if you are in the right place, as no one else was there when we were there. It seems like you are walking on private property. It appears that the location is being renovated and we are very curious about the progress.

This castle is simply magical. As a wedding photographer, I have had the chance to shoot there several times and each time it is a huge pleasure. Anyway, looking forward to the next one

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.
