I guess the world has taken several turns between my last communion services. I got up during the Agnus Dei to go to communion, no one else joined. I saw that it was somehow suspicious. Maybe not? Have others really been able to live without sin? It's like going back, isn't it? I decided to go all the way. Well, then it turned out that the others had to miss the song and the teacher probably made a decision on that whether to invite them to communion or not. This time they were lucky.? Nice everyone!

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.
