Rosenberg Castle Copenhagen
It was such a wonderful visit to Rosenberg Castle in Copenhagen, Denmark! Before visiting the Rosenberg Castle, I wandered around the Rosenberg Garden, also called the King’s garden. Very beautiful and huge. The castle itself is very beautifully constructed and I love those paintings and cravings along the wall. Inside you can see different ‘treasures’ that royal families kept 2 centuries ago. Highly recommended! #copenhagen #rosenborgcastle #Kingsgarden #travel

In the centre of Copenhagen, you will also find the amazing Rosenborg Castle. The castle is in the Dutch Renaissance style and was originally built in 1606-1607 as a summerhouse by order of Christian IV. The castle is beautiful on the inside and definitely worth a visit. The castle also houses The Treasury where you can see the Crown Jewels, the Crown Regalia, the Crown of the Absolutist Kings and the Queens’ Crown on display. In many aspects, Rosenborg reminded us of Tower of London.
The castle is situated in Kongens Have (“The King’s Garden“) which is the country’s oldest royal garden. It’s a beautiful place to walk around and admire the view. Next to the castle you will also see the barracks where the Royal Life Guards are. The Life Guard guards the castle.
