Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Castle is situated right in the middle of the city next to the beautiful King's Garden.

Rosenborg Castle is a beautiful historic building and a fascinating museum of cultural history. Located in the centre of Copenhagen it houses some of Denmark’s greatest cultural treasures, not least the Crown Jewels and the Danish Crown Regalia.

Among the main attractions of Rosenborg are the Long Hall with the coronation throne with three silver lions standing guard, and the three treasuries with the Crowns and the Crown Jewels.

Rosenborg was built in 1606-1634 by King Christian IV as a royal pleasure retreat outside of the closed city. Today it is a museum with objects related to the Danish monarchs during the last 400 years.

In the basement the Royal Regalia and state jewellery belonging to the present queen are on display.

This is also where you will find the Green Cabinet with objects from the private collection of the monarchs and the recently opened Third Treasury where unique works in ivory and amber made by past members of the royal families are exhibited.

The museum has a sister museum at Amalienborg Palace called Museum of Amalienborg.
