Even though it was closed, it has a very nice structure. Advised!

Matteo Ceruti (6 years ago)
This castle is beautiful, interesting, beautifully immersed in the green, the personnel who are always friendly with customers, here is the ghost The brothers cavalcabo 'with Carlo who was cremona and Eleonora viritelli. Highly recommended.

Domenico Dattola (6 years ago)
The castle is very beautiful but can be visited only from the outside because it is privately owned. There are many legends and beliefs handed down for centuries to this day and which have given everything an ancient manor in an aura of mystery.

Esternamente bello. Chiuso al pubblico.

Giulio Meneghello (6 years ago)
Purtroppo è residenza privata, visto solo l'esterno, perfettamente conservato. Il piccolo borgo con la chiesa sono carini. Si dice sia il meno abitato della provincia di Lodi..

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.
