The stone church of Reigi was built between 1800-1802 to replace the earlier wooden one built in the 1690. It was donated by Count Ungern- Sternberg, who had the church built in memory of his son Gustav who killed himself because he was heavily in debt to gamblers. Gustav is buried in the churchyard at Reigi.
On the top of the church steeple you can see a sculpture of a lily which was part of the coat-of-arms for the Ungern- Sternberg family. The church contains many beautiful works of art which are said to have been donated by the grateful survivors of shipwrecks near Hiiumaa's dangerous northwest coast. Some remodeling work was done in 1899 but the church still looks mostly as it did 200 years ago. The church is not open on a daily basis but it is still used for religious services so if you would like to get a look at the beautiful interior you are invited to attend a church service on Sunday.

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.
