A very interesting place to know about sea, history of fishing! Huge collection of different things. The owner of this museum is a very charismatic man with a good sense of humour.

One of the most original maritime museums I've ever seen - a good portion of the boats hang in mid-air! Quality and presentation over quantity - imore museums around the world shoulf follow the same pattern!

This is a place where the museum owner really lives so, walking here, you can see some things actually used by him mixed with museum exhibits. At a glance, everything looks messy but, looking into details, you can see a lot of interesting things. It is better to ask the owner more.

Unique museum. The people do live there. So you are walking through their living room. Different items with maritime theme.

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.
