It's not free to enter. I didnt ask about the price, i only stood at the entry and took this photo. It's all you can do for free?

We were there for the Brocante Market, which was well stocked and well laid-out. Very lovely grounds, beautiful castle and the restaurant had a great atmosphere, befitting the castle. Attentive friendly and helpful staff despite the overload in clients due to the event. Will visit the castle and grounds again to take a look inside and sample the restaurant some more.

Original idea to go through this castle on your own pace and with an audio tour. When we visited, we were the only visitors and our kids really enjoyed the tour and the mysterious atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely privately owned castle that can be visited most days of the week. The current owners actually live here and are in the ever ongoing proces of restoring it. Tickets van be bought at the restaurant near the castle, you actually get a key to the front gate ..... a special touch.

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.
