Rosenborg Castle & King's Garden
1 / 9

Rosenborg Castle - by Laurent on Google





Description
Rosenborg Castle was built in Copenhagen in Dutch Renaissance style for King Christian IV in the first two decades of the 17th century. The main highlights are arguably the Knight's Hall decorated with tapestries, a stucco ceiling and side reliefs depicting historical events, and the Royal Collections including the Danish Crown Regalia and Crown Jewels. The castle is surrounded by the Castle Gardens, a.k.a. The King's Garden. The 12ha park is characterized by tree-lined avenues and buildings such as the Rosenborg Barracks and the Hercules Pavilion.
Access & Transport
The castle and gardens are at the hyper-centre of Copenhagen. Marmorkirken metro station (M3, M4) is a 3mins walk away, as is the Nørreport metro (M1, M2) and train station. Several bus services stop between the castle and the Botanical Gardens, along Øster Voldgade.
Instructions & Recommendations
It is not possible to bring strollers and prams into the castle. We suggest combining this activity with the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK), the Round Tower or the Botanical Gardens.
Environmental & Social
We deem this attraction environmentally marginally negative due to the building's electricity consumption (small on a per visitor basis). Part of the city architectural and cultural heritages + provides additional green space for residents
Conclusion
Rosenborg definitely looks the part of a Royal castle, outside and inside - though it is not extravagantly large. We do strongly recommend a visit if you have the time and inclination but, in any case, make sure to go through the gardens and admire both the building and the beautifully maintained grounds.
