Very nice knight's castle from the outside. Privately owned and therefore cannot be viewed from the inside.
Luisa Duri (5 years ago)
It can be reached along an easy and shady path in the woods, which in the first part runs alongside the course of the Rienza. It dates back to the 12th century and belonged to the feudal lords of the bishop of Bressanone. Towards 1380 the counts of Gorizia took over. During the War of the Tyrol it was destroyed twice. In 1812 it was sold to the priest Josef Hauptmann, whose descendants are the current owners. The adjacent chapel is dedicated to Saint Kummemus and is very popular. The castle cannot be visited. From the plateau in front of it you can admire a beautiful panorama that reaches up to Kronplatz.

A beautiful castle that can only be seen from the outside because it is privately owned, unfortunately

Proprietà privata, con tanto di cartello. Non visitabile agli interni. Per questo motivo non ci sono gli orari di visita. Ci sono solo delle passeggiate. I padroni sono poco cordiali, state alla larga da loro!

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.
