Remarks
Initially a simple summer pavilion with two floors of redbrick and a small tower, Rosenborg doubled in size in 1615. It was raised and flanked with a large lateral tower, a central staircase was added and it became a little castle. The museum is made up of some luxurious rooms. The Winter Salon with its mural woodwork containing dozens of Flemish paintings resembles a vast book of hours. The Marble Room, meanwhile, is baroque, while the Great Festival Hall on the second floor contains the annals of the monarchy: an ivory throne, silver furniture. All thse rooms are furnished in period style and contain rare Flemish tapestries, Venetian glassware and silverware, including the Crown Jewels (crown of Christian IV and his wife -1731- plus other jewels).

Opposite the King's Park, the Botanical Gardens (1870) are a lovely place for a stroll with greenhouses containing tropical plants (cacti, palm trees and orchids). On the other side, heading back down towards the city centre, the Samling Collection includes Islamic works of art and French and English furniture from the 18C.
