Rustovo Monastery

Budva, Montenegro

Rustovo Monastery is located around three kilometres above the Praskvica Monastery. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Holy Mother of God and it has been convent since 2004. The graves of monks were discovered in the monastery yard, which proves that a number of monks lived here as early as in the Middle Ages. Within the Monastery complex, there is a little chapel dedicated to St Benedict of Nursia, as well as a more recent church dedicated to the Holy Royal Martyrs, the Romanovs.

We visited the monastery, a place where you will feel at peace since the arrival. The view from the top over the coast is stunning. We received a friendly welcome.from the nun and gave us a tour of the monastery, telling us the history of the churches, and the miraculous icones in it. Nice clay articles and homemade cosmetic products available to support the community at very reasonable price. We enjoyed a rest in the garden and the nuns offered us refreshments and nice sweets with cherries ("cookies"). We highly recommend to visit!

We went there on a weekday. The road was steep and narrow but worth it. Nuns welcomed us and showed us around. We heard the history of the place and were allowed to take a few pictures. You can also pray to Holly Portrait for health and/or for fertility. No tickets. There is a shop there where you can buy handmade souvenirs made by nuns and herbal products. Prices were reasonable. Nun gave us vater from their spring to drink and a cookie.

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.
