It was free entry to an organ concert, good music and a lovely atmosphere, I'm not really a Christian, but I think you should protect the church ?

Beautiful church to celebrate a service in, but above all it is the fantastic staff - priests, deacons, musicians, janitors, etc., who contribute to the wonderful experience.

Very nice church (as my daughter got married last Sunday). The priest (Lars) was easy and very pleasant to deal with

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.
