This is an absolutely stunning property. The best part about this place is the staff who made us feel comfortable and ensure we had a great stay. This is a perfect example of efficient and courteous service without being overbearing. The room was very comfortable and had great views. We ate multiple meals at the restaurant and we're very pleased with it. They are very accommodative of dietary preferences such as vegetarians, vegans, etc. The spa is great as well. We wish we had a longer stay. Must visit if you are in the area.

Very nice house, friendly and helpful staff. Being able to go to the spa with kids is great during winter. However, kitchenware was incomplete. Missing bowls abd chopping boards (just one plastic old one) and the pans were all scrated (scratched pans are toxic). Bikes are available for guests but they are old and rusty. They should be fixed and maintained.

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.
