Rosenborg Castle
A renaissance castle, home to a remarkable collection of Danish royal artefacts (including the crown jewels) and picturesque gardens.
Overview
In the middle of the tranquil Kongens Have (Kings Garden) you will find an early 17th century, Renaissance-style palace. Rosenborg Castle offers visitors a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of Danish royal history.
The 400-year-old castle was built by Christian IV, who resided there for much of his reign. The castle has been immaculately well kept, meaning you can take a step back in history and explore lavishly decorated rooms, like The Knights' Hall adorned with intricate woodwork, tapestries and historical paintings. Then wander through the Royal Treasury, which houses a stunning collection of crown jewels and regal relics. You can buy an entry ticket and explore at your own pace, or join a guided tour.
