Freezing room when we arrived, owner extremely discreet and reluctant to pass on and share. We were hoping for a little more warmth and friendliness in this place that is supposedly steeped in history. Damage Nathalie and Sacha

Friendly and very discreet welcome (the owner serves you the dishes and closes it behind him to give you complete privacy). The meal was very good. Very nice place renovated with great taste. Renovated bathroom and comfortable bedding. Missing a blind on one of the two windows (it can be annoying in summer!!). Very quiet place. I recommend

Nice fortified house but not a castle. The evening meal was good, but not gourmet. The breakfast was plentiful but bought commercially. The setting is pleasant and relaxing. Spacious and comfortable room for the night. The friendly owner. Bring a coffee carafe for the evening lol.

The place is lovely, has been very carefully restored, but no visit (neither free nor guided) is organized despite the signage at the entrance. At most we can go around it. Several of us were disappointed.

Very good time at the grand cour, for a weekend. Very good meal served in the evening, and incredible calm during our stay in this very well renovated castle!

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.
