To see an exhibit featuring a collection of Danish crown jewels and regalia, head to Rosenborg Castle, one of the country's finest examples of Renaissance architecture. Originally constructed as King Christian IV's country house in 1606, the structure underwent several major expansion projects through 1624. The elegant castle sits in the middle of one of the city's liveliest parks and serves as a royal history museum. In addition to the famous crown jewels, which are displayed in the catacombs beneath the castle, the museum collection also includes a coronation carpet and the throne chair of Denmark.

  Been there for seeing the part of Danish history. Great castle with depressingly dark corridors. Do not miss out if u love history.  more »

  The castle is tiny (relatively speaking for a castle) but absolutely stunning. Every room is completely unique in a different style. Every surface is covered with paintings, carpets and wood decorations. The extravagance is almost overwhelming. Definitely worth a visit

  Definitely worth a visit. The throne room is luxurious. Pay attention to the thrones, delicate tapestries. Also not to miss: the green glass room (Venetian glass collection) and the treasury ( basement ). Keep the ticket carefully, as you will need it for the treasury. Beautifully preserved castle rooms. Some smaller side-rooms are protected with glass - which is great to keep them in good condition, also make them available to the visitors
