Rosenborg Castle

"Christian IV's 17th-century summer palace sprouts like a Renaissance mirage in the center of the city."

"Contains ballrooms, halls, and reception chambers, but for all of its grandeur there's an intimacy that makes you think the king might return any minute." Full review

"The pièce de résistance, however, is the basement Treasury, home to the dazzling crown jewels, among them Christian IV's glorious crown and the jewel-studded sword of Christian III." Full review

"It is well worth exploring the the many rooms, filled with art and furniture, collected by the royal family, before descending into the vault to admire the pretty, sparkly things." Full review

"In 1710, the palace ceased to be a royal residence as Frederik IV considered it too small. Since 1833, Rosenborg has housed the Crown Jewels." Full review

"Rosenborg Castle is so preposterously pretty it looks like an illustration from a fairy tale by local hero Hans Christian Andersen." Full review

"Most days, the castle is crawling with history lovers, students, and architecture aficionados." Full review

"With a facade that hasn't changed since 1633, the Rosenborg is the greatest and purest Renaissance structure in Denmark, and has survived both fire and war." Full review

"Originally built as a summer country home, the Renaissance-era Rosenborg Castle houses sparkling crown jewels and other royal relics"

"To view the family’s treasures, visit the nearby 400-year-old Rosenborg Castle, where their crown jewels and regalia are on display, along with a silver coronation throne."
