Eksjö Church

Eksjö, Sweden

Eksjö Church was built in the later part of the 19th century to the designs of architect J. F. Åbom. Much of the inventory was retained from the earlier church that stood on the site, whose structure is partly incorporated. The altarpiece and pulpit are both 17th century works. The organ facade dates from the 18th century. The church is a popular venue for organ recitals. It stands in the heart of the town.

Eksjö Church is a nice white church building. Incredibly beautiful inside with bright colors. Feels very harmonious. The church is located on the main square on the other side of the Stadshotellet. The clock tower appears from afar. Especially the design of the back appealed to me a lot and nice trees decorate the small place around the church. There is a memorial stone on one side and a disabled ramp.

Eksjö Church is a nice white church building. Located by the main square on the other side of the City Hotel. The bell tower appears from afar. The special design of the back appealed to me a lot and nice trees adorn the little place around the church. There is a memorial stone on one side and a handicap ramp.

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.
