The attractive Dutch Renaissance style Rosenborg Castle was designed by King Christian IV and served as his home until he died in 1648. Today the Castle is an important cultural institution, acting as a public museum detailing the history of Denmark’s royal family as well as acting as repository for the Crown Jewels and royal regalia, which are kept in the castle cellars and can be viewed by the public.
The magnificent castle gardens are a welcome retreat from the city hustle and bustle. Note: The Castle is currently undergoing renovations and some areas will be closed to the public until April 2008.
