The bastion is very well preserved. In the 70s, a shooting range was located on the territory of the bastion. Now it houses a small museum, a coffee shop and an art workshop for the Homlins. I recommend visiting

Неплохо сохранившаяся крепость/бастион. Для посещения был доступен только внутренний двор, тк все остальное сдается в аренду двум организациям. Но и его хватило что бы составить хорошее впечатление о этом месте. Вся красота кроется в деталях, своды, двери, ворота, металические/чугунные круговые лесницы, окружающая природа. Прогуливаясь вокруг крепости ненароком представляешь осаду этого бастиона, пытаясь понять что происходит внутри и снаружи, в стане обораняющих и стане врага.

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.
