You can walk up the othside area from main gate till the lake gate for the schloss. Its a private area so you cannot go and see it closer. There is small walkway but leads to neoghbours homes, so a dead end. No place to go anywhere else. Beautiful schloss but if it is not for public then main gate should have words private written. It feels bad you come close and find it private. If its private then close it or display at gate please.

A very relax and quiet place for a walk. Beautiful building. Try to not disturb the neighbors.

Marvelous place, although it was closed. Anyways, go right the gate to bushes and you will see an awesome view to the castle and the lake

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.
