A nice stop if you're passing by. We did have to pay for the parking lot, not sure if that's usual or just some local kids trying to make an extra buck during their holiday. From the parking lot it's a litte hike uphill to the actual castle. Didn't visit the castle itself but from the outside you can already see most of the ruin.

Original wall of the central tower; exhibitions and makets on each floors; tomb of the former landlord Kinizsi P.; magnificent landscape.

From outside it looks small but you can spend easily more than an hour inside

Amazing view from the top of the tower. They will start a major refurbishment soon, so go and see while you can!

Seeing a historical Castle is always amazing me. The surroundings and the view is very nice. Small parking area; however, we arrived just before the closing (one hour before 5 pm) there were no problem to find a place to park. In addition received 10% discount. It is a must to see.

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.
