Lovely place to stop for a light lunch or fika. Plenty of parking, on a pretty lake, but we didn't find a toilet. Dog friendly and nice atmosphere and monastery ruins to see.

Lovely cafe by the lake. We stopped for lunch -- a small, but elegant selection of sandwiches of which my family had one each and all were well satisfied. When we left, we found our car wouldn't start. Maria helped us contact someone to help and averted our emergency. She was our guardian angel!

Perfect stop for a fresh sallad or a healthy sandwich or a coffee and cake. Beautiful situated by a lake where it is possible to go for a swim. Gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy free options available. Delicious sallad adapted to suit food allergies.

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.
