Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen

Rosenborg Slot (Castle) was built by Christian IV (1606-34) in Renaissance style. The castle has an almost fairytale-like location in Kongens Have. Rosenborg was originally a country mansion outside the walls of the city. The castle with its copper roof is surrounded by moats, just outside the castle you'll find a very beautiful rose garden. Ever since the absolutist monarchy, Rosenborg has also been the home of the royal crown jewels. Rosenborg also functions as a museum on the Royal Family. For security reasons, electricity has never been installed.
