Moron Church

Saint-Vincent, Italy

The current structure of Chiesa Parrocchiale di Saint-Vincent, with a large circular apse, dates back to the 15th century, when important changes were made to a probable, pre-existing Romanesque building. For some time it conserved certain parish church prerogatives (festive functions and cemetery), even though it was never a parish church.The apse vault has a beautiful series of ribbed stone. Recent restoration removed the modern structures and decor, in an attempt to restore the church to its original appearance. In the past, on Easter Monday, the so-called “vineyard procession” took place, which in almost six hours passed through all the villages and chapels on the Saint-Vincent hillside.

Magnificent church with period paintings and mini museum with sacred statues and findings. It was bombed and then renovated.

Beautiful church and a fervent priest with faith as per the parishioners!

A beautiful stone and masonry church dedicated to San Vincenzo with some display cases containing sacred objects and paintings on the walls. A visit can be interesting

Paolo Bossi (3 years ago)
Beautiful building that recalls the style of the area, with stone inserts. Lumi dares inside and the frescoes in the apse are interesting. Worth visiting if you are in Saint Vincent.

Beautiful church, gorgeous frescoes and a wonderful organ! We really liked the fact that the mass is projected on a screen located outside for all those who have no place inside.

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.
