Rosenborg Castle lies between the Royal Gardens and the Botanical Gardens. The Renaissance-style castle, dating from 1606, houses the Danish crown jewels and royal jewels in its cellars.

Around Rosenborg Castle is the beautiful Kongens Have park with its rose garden, avenues of mature trees and vast lawns where you can lie down and have an impromptu picnic without worry.

The castle was built in 1606 by King Christian IV of Denmark as a summer residence for the royal family. It is built in a beautiful Renaissance style.

Visit the Crown Jewels

Rosenborg now no longer serves its function and is completely open to the public. Inside the castle there is a museum and the royal treasury, which can also be viewed by the general public at any time.
