It is very beautiful but is room for improvement.

Visited in the rain. Sublime ambiance. Is it possible to feel the past through architecture and nature? A wall with a plaque dedicated to Lord Kitchener pointed to the possibility of such a thing. Perhaps the brick heart shaped motives in the structures indicated a certain passion in the design. What untold stories are lost to time? A new installation of printed histories and photographs of people connected to the chateau tell unique and wonderful stories of the importance of the chateau and the joy that it brings.

Lovely old chateau with magnificent gardens in centre of village. Chateau only open on Sunday is €10 each, garden open 12.00-6.00pm, €5 each & we worth it. The moated chateau is surrounded by an amazingly well restored formal garden with natural flower beds & shrubs. The history is interesting & it is a haven of peace.

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.
