    Entrance to the Castle

    Rosenburg casle houses the Royal Danish collection of interiors, portraits & other collections
    The cellar is home to the crown jewels & Crown Regalia
    King Christian IV built Rosenburg Castle in 1606-34 as a summer castle. He designed most of this Dutch Renaissance style castle himself. It was great to visit the castle with Roggeveen, being a dutchie & his fascination of ships made it that more interesting. I fancied some of the tiara's but Walter said no - how mean!! :-)

    Three generations of kings thereafter lived at the castle until King Frederik IV who erected Frederiksberg Castle in 1790

    We noticed the on the higher floors it got more ornate

    The castle is well guarded & has a moat surrounding it.
    The public gardens surrounding the palace are fantastic & attracts many sunbathers in summer

    Entrance is DKK65, you have to put your bag in a locker with a DKK20 deposit - probably so you don't walk out with the crown jewels!!
    You can obtain a photograpic permit for DKK20, No mobile phones can be switched on

    Rosenborg Palace & Kongens Have: Little castle with the crown jewellery

    This castle was build by Christian IV in the special Dutch Renaissance style in the years 1606-1607. At that time it served as the kings summerhouse in the newly laid out park "Kongens Have" (The Kings Garden).
    We were only able to see half of the castle because of renovation of the 1st floor.
    The floor of the great hall is being strengthened and a new marble floor is being laid.
    The work will be completed in April 2008.

    Rosenborg Palace & Kongens Have: All that glitters at Rosenborg Slot

    We were on a short trip, so we had to choose one castle or museum to see. I am so glad we went to Rosenborg, it was just breathtaking. The castle itself is in a huge park, and there's a moat with ducks and swans, so naturally I was overjoyed! The crown jewels and collected precious objects were incredible, all the workmanship that went into crafting these incredibly detailed swords and scabbards and dishes and decorative accents.

    By the time we got out of the jewelry collection in the treasury and into the main castle, there was only 20 minutes until closing time. You better believe we tore through that place like mad so we could see it all. We couldn't take photos though, they charged an extra 20kr for photo permission. Plus we'd had to leave my purse in a locker, which also cost 20kr, so we didn't have the camera anyhow. We did get some nice photos of the exterior though.

    Also, there was nowhere to buy food to feed the duckies, which disappointed me.

    rosenborg castle is one of the pettiest in copenhagen and it also has a good museum telling about the royals in denmark over the centuries.
    the castle is roughly 400 years old and situated in a park called kongens have.
    a very popular hang out for locals on a sunny day.

    Rosenborg Slot (Rosenborg Castle) was built in the years 1606-1634 as a royal summer residence of King Christian IV. The King designed the castle himself and lived here until he died in 1648. The castle was passed to his son, King Frederik III, who carried out several modernisations. The last King to reside at the castle was King Frederik IV, who lived from 1699 to 1730.

    In 1838 Rosenborg Slot was opened as a museum to the public, and today the castle houses the Royal Danish Collections of interiors, portraits and handicrafts from the Kings of the House of Oldenborg (1448-1863). (Artefacts from the Kings of the House of Glücksborg (1863-today) are exhibited at the Amalienborg Palace Museum).

    In my opinion, Rosenborg Slot is the most interesting and beautiful castle in the centre of Copenhagen. Especially the Knights’ Hall (the Long Hall) is quite impressing, but also the Treasury in the castle cellars - with the royal crown jewels - is worth a visit.

    Check their webpage for opening hours and admission fees.

    Rosenborg Palace & Kongens Have: Feeding the fish

    By the side of Rosenborg Castle there is a little moat, if you have a little bread (or buy some cheap sandwich bread) you can go here and feed the carps its fun to see this big fish fighting off the ducks as they are stirring up the water as they go to the surface to eat

    I hope this tip will get all of you from VT to help me feeding the carps as I have a little project trying to see if I can catch one of the capes with the hands. Right now they seems a little to afraid of humans for this to happen. (I will release it if I get one naturally)

    Rosenborg Castle Gardens are Denmark's oldest royal gardens. It's also called King's Garden. Nowadays Rosenborg Castle is a museum.

    Nice and romantic place for to have a long walk and to spend a lovely afternoon.

    Rosenborg Slot is a castle originally built as a summer home. It currently houses the crown jewels. There is a park area that is a great place to stroll through when the weather is nice.

    One warning, do not try to walk through the front gate from the vantage point in which this picture was taken. Evidently it is some sort of military facility.
