Drevant Gallo-Roman site dates from the 1st to 3rd centuries and includes a well-preserved theater, a sanctuary, two bath complexes, and residential areas. It was a secondary settlement connected to river navigation and a local road. By the 4th century, the site abandoned, and the theater became a craft workshop. In the Middle Ages, the ruins were used as a stone quarry.
The structure combines elements of both an amphitheater and a theater, with an 85m-wide cavea supported by buttresses. The 27m-diameter arena, enclosed by a 2.6m-high podium wall, suggests it was used for circus performances.
Initially mistaken for a forum, the sanctuary features a large enclosure (116 × 89m) with a small central temple (fanum). Over time, it was expanded with monumental entrances, an octagonal sacred structure (possibly a bidental), and surrounding buildings.
Discovered in 1835, the two bathhouses (35 × 29m and 42 × 33m) had typical Roman features, including heated rooms. They were likely supplied by an aqueduct sourcing water 5 km away.
Developed in the late 1st or 2nd century, housing blocks were found mainly north of the site. Some residences included baths, while others may have served as inns or worker lodgings. Abandonment began in the mid-3rd century.
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.
