The cemetery around the church was absolutely beautiful.

Nice and beautiful church, with a good priest

Nice little church, just a shame that two Christmas trees covered the bride and groom, so we couldn't see them during the wedding. Sincerely Birth

There is nothing that beckons like Idestrup in folk clothes, races, ages and all genders. Mosegaarden's children and a single, young and well-groomed man stand in front of the church and wait for today's protagonists to step out with a clear conscience. God has just told them that it may well be that they do not believe in him. But he believes in them. He repeats this just in case, before the children become first young, then adults and later completely impossible. No matter what. The Almighty sits in the sidecar for the rest of his life. No strings attached, as they say abroad.

The church was closed but the cemetery around it was absolutely beautiful.

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.
