It's always interesting to see and learn a part of history. Unfortunately only the tower and part of the wall remain. There are also two swings for the children. There are stairs in the tower that lead to the top and the landscape can be seen. There's something like a restaurant next door, or something like that, where you can also eat.

Very nice view. Historic location. Loved it.

We parked at the Stadel Theater and walked the circular route... At the beginning it was a very nice circular route and the children really enjoyed it... Lots of forest and also streams and small biotopes! Very well done and interesting, towards the end the path unfortunately becomes very monotonous and full of tar and meadows, which becomes boring, at least for children. As an adult it's OK, especially the view!!! Of course, our big goal was Kemnat Castle! It was really a hit with the kids! You can walk up the big tower from the inside and enjoy a wonderful view when you get to the top...??? There is a fountain and a few walls and if there is no Corona, you can definitely stop by the cafe here again! Of course you can also just drive into the parking lot, park and be at the castle in two minutes...? But it's a great trip and if you take enough provisions with you, everyone can get through the last, somewhat boring part of the route! Definitely worth it!!!?☺️

The promised view is rather restricted by tall trees. All in all disappointing, because where you expect a castle (ruin) there is actually only the former donjon (incorrectly called "Römerturm"). Unfortunately, the castle was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.

Idyllic place. Nicely situated and the Roman tower is accessible - beautiful views and a walk possible

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.
