Rosenborg Slot

Para todos aquellos que disfrutan con los paisajes siniestros, este conjunto de castillo más jardines visitado en un día nublado o lluvioso hará las delicias de los seguidores de Poe, Friedrich o Lovecraft. Visita obligada.

This museum is the residence of Danish dynasty who lived there long time ago. The museum has 3 floors to explore. I didn’t see the 1^st one due to renovations. For me, this wasn’t a big deal as I had the CPH card but even if the entrance was free, as it was already paid, I couldn’t use the card fully as one floor was closed. You can see amazing and decorations rooms, dished, porcelains and luxury lights too. You can see also the kind and the queen throne, protected by 3 huge lions, beautiful utensils and accessories decorare the room. The best part is the basement, where the treasure is stored. The cavo is protected by armed men as what you will see has a not esteemed value. You can see the kind and queen crowns, the jewellers, the utensils, ivory and coral accessories over decorated, luxury swords etc.
This museum worsted a visit.

The castle is basically a time lapse of kings from the 1600’s I think and how their rooms looked when they were there. Apparently the castle wasn’t used for living after a while, but the Kings used it as a vacation home. There are a lot of fancy items, and it’s a nice place to visit, sort of a glimpse into how the Kings lived. There are a lot of paintings in a very unique style, and most of the items have a distinct style too. I don’t know whether I would come here again, because it seems to just be looking at a bunch of artifacts and it isn’t overly interesting, but I guess if you’re into antiques and paintings, it’s a good place to visit.

A Renaissance and Baroque gem not to be missed when in town! Every room, grand or small reveals a surprise and the Treasury is quite rich. Walk in the public gardens after your visit or take a break on the shaded outdoor seating area of the little café at the entrance to the castle.

Compared to Frederiksborg and Christiansborg, this castle is OK. It’s covered on the Copenhagen, which was a plus because I wouldn’t have paid for it otherwise. The castle hasn’t been kept very well and looks like it’s suffering from deterioration.
The treasury, which is the lower part, was pretty interesting. The gift shop is small but nice.
I really enjoyed walking around the park after touring the castle.

Walking from the Nørreport Metro, the Rosenborg Slot sign arrow points Left (toward the Botanical Garden) instead of Straight up. Keep walking straight ahead ½ block to get to the palace.
Reviewers rating the attraction lower because it is small and dark probably failed to see that this makes history come more alive, getting a feel for how the royals «opulently» lived back then, even with an indoor wooden loo that Game of Thrones watchers would appreciate.
A guidebook is practically a must though as the self-​guided tour takes you chronically though history of 16^th-​19^th Century Danish kings. The paper you are given with your ticket doesn’t provide much background. The rooms are packed with a hoarder’s delight of paintings, clocks and porcelain plates, along with Christian IV’s blood-​stained clothing and spooky wax figures. Without context you’ll miss much of the «hidden gems» and why these things are here.
The Long Hall with the thrones and the vault with the Crown Jewels and regalia are definitely not-​to-​be-​skipped highlights. Unlike the Tower of London, you’re free to take pictures, so join the crowd.

Standard Copenhagen tourist spot in middle of city. Beautiful park and interior rooms are ornately decorated with tapestries & paintings. Art and history lovers will certainly like this spot. Tour of treasury provides look at precious artifacts and of course the highlight — crown jewels. Very bling-​y overall. Noticed kids having fun running around the park and staring at the shiny jewels.
Bottom Line: Certainly worth a visit, especially if lover of art/​history or bling.

Enjoyable to do on a rainy day. It’s a bit of a pricey entrance fee but you can easily spend 90 minutes exploring the palace. Some rooms are kind of plain but they have a nice collection if fine china. Best is the lower level where you get to see the Danish royal crown and jewel collection.

We were on our final day and attempting to fit in as many sites as possible. This place is in the centre of a park and is very impressive as you walk up to it.
It is a big building and it is great for some cool picture opportunities as you walk over the bridge and stand in front of the large lion statues.
Worth a look if you have time.

My favorite of the three palaces in Copenhagen that we visited. Rosenborg is located in a really nice garden park setting. Even if you don’t go inside, you can sit in the gardens, or have picnics in the park like a lot of the locals seemed to be doing. We did wind up hanging out in the park for a while after the tour.
Rosenborg has the classic moat and bridge setting. You go up a winding stone staircase three floors up and then tour on your way back down. The richly decorated open room with the Royal Thrones, guarded by the silver lions was a great sight. Overall, the palace really fits the classical 1600s time period it was built in.
After touring the castle, I just had enough time to make it to the Treasury area before they closed for the day. This has a great display of royal crowns and jewels.
Admission was included in the Copenhagen Card. Unlike the previous posters, no one said anything to me about a photography pass — I was able to take pictures anywhere I wanted. 4 – 4.5 stars

Wir konnten aus zeitlichen Gründen das Schloß und den Schloßpark nur von außen besichtigen. Aber auch da war es schon sehr eindrucksvoll und imposant. Dort werden auch die Kronjuwelen aufbewahrt.
Dies ist für unseren nächsten Besuch geplant.

Cute palace to visit if you are in Copenhagen! Its quite small but my favorite part was the third floor where the thrown is located. The ceiling is absolutely beautiful with images that were and 3-​D like. Other than the third floor the other floors were a little underwhelming. Make sure you stop by the treasury to check out the royal crown!
One thing to note, you need to store all your luggage away in little lockers for a 20DKR deposit. They do not have change machines so make sure you have change when you come in there.

For better or for worse, every time I go to a museum, I think of Sue T. In her real life, she runs her own little museum. Which is unfortunate, since all other museums pale in comparison to the level of professionalism and textbook perfection with which her museum is executed. All sarcasm aside — she does tend to point out things that, in her defense, definitely are bad. Like wrongly or incompletely (see the Seattle Aquarium) labeled exhibits, bad lighting, or poor layout (see Adler Planetarium). And so, as I made my way through Rosenborg, I found myself thinking of Sue. Except — not in a bad way.
I bought the combo ticket and paid for photo permission. Yeah — that’s a little annoying, paying for permission to take photos. But it’s 20 DKK. That’s $ 4. Don’t let it ruin your stay. There’s things worth taking pictures of. Then I started with the treasury, which is a bewildering assortment of awesome stuff. Incredible valuables, the crown jewels, which, to an American with little sense of what wealth a monarchy can amass, are pretty incredible, and a collection of exquisitely carved, inlaid, and engraved weapons. But this is where I could hear Sue. To highlight (and possibly preserve) some of the items, the treasury rooms are not overly lit. Unfortunately, that makes reading things a problem, as I’ll get to next. Just know you might consider a little pocket flashlight if you happen to have packed one of them on this trip, especially down in the treasury. As for the need to read? The number of items is so vast that they want you to rent (10 DKK) or buy (25 DKK) almost a 200 page book that covers the collection. And before you think, oh, it could make a souvenir: No pictures. Just text. Super descriptive, informative text. There’s a lot of stuff down here. But to address the incomplete labeling issue that you’re waiting for me to complain about — the book is brilliant. Laid out sensibly, with gobs of information about the rooms and all their items. Very easy to find the item you’re looking for simply by flipping through the guide. A separate guide they offer via the free WiFi in the castle doesn’t have information on even a 10^th of the items on display, and it’s going to murder your cell phone or tablet battery, so pay the 10 DKK to rent the book. I think even Sue would be happy with the museum experience. Anyway. Spend some quality time down here with the incredible displays of wealth and craftsmanship. Just don’t lean up against the small railings that surround the actual crowns, as they leave black marks on your white shirt.
Upstairs is a similar, although less dense, collection of items more relating to the occupants of the palace. Of particular note, the coronation throne, which is made of Narwhal horns. Seriously. Narwhal horns. And the throne on display is flanked by three huge silver lions, which are still used today as «guards» during official functions. God, the Danes are *awesome*. I actually got to where I kind of enjoyed the ability to browse the collections visually, looking up the items that really caught my eye, rather than being distracted by too many placards. To label everything just in Danish would require walls full of text, and to accommodate any foreign visitors on any large signage would be impossible.
I didn’t encounter any Guard McNasties — just a few who took pleasure in other people’s fascination with the collection, explaining the current state of the monarchy to some tourists and just generally… being helpful. I did see someone get yelled at for touching the showcases. But there was a huge sign in the room… that said do not touch the showcases. What do you want them to do? I should mention that they need to be better prepared for tour buses. I was there before they opened, hoping to start my day as early as possible. But a bus full of incredibly rude tourists (and I mean American style rude) managed to elbow their way in front of everyone else who had been waiting, and jam the single ticket seller that morning. Just be aware of this — you may need to wait with a gaggle of folks who will run you down in order to get there faster.
All in all, well worth the admission, especially if you tack on the Amalienborg tour.

We were so disappointed with Rosenborg Slot. While the palace had a few fun things (like a hoarding-​level collection of plateware), it was overall a bit underwhelming. What made it even less appealing was the general attitude of the place. You can take pictures, for example, but only if you pay for a picture pass. Who’s every heard of that?! You can take a photocopied piece of paper that serves as the briefest of guides, for example, but you’re meant to pay for it. Each one can’t cost them more than a few cents. It felt like everything they could possibly charge for, they did. And if they’re charging for a photocopied map and for you to take pictures, why are they ALSO charging a steep entry fee?
For better or worse, we allowed this to get to us, and it affected our enjoyment of the site. Likewise the stern guards, who patrol every room and yell at you if you so much as lean NEAR a wall, made our experience drag.
This is another site that, had I not had ‘free’ access through my Copenhagen Card, I would have been really disappointed.

A Dutch Renaissance castle constructed in the early 1600’s by King Christian IV currently holds the Royal Collections which include the crown jewels.
I didn’t have the time to check it out because I wanted to just unwind and admire the exterior: it’s a castle with a real moat! ;D yes, I’m easily amused.
Entrance fee is 80 DKK. If I were you, I’d use that money to buy a bunch of delicious kanelsnegle (cinnamon buns!) from Laura’s bakery and eat it while staring at this magnificent view. but that’s just me.

Sehr beeindruckend.
Erst durchläuft man einen tollen Park und sieht dann das gewaltige Schloss. Echt sehenswert.

I love that I am reviewing a castle right now. This was one of my favorite sights in Copenhagen. However, you really need a tour or a good guidebook to give you the heads up on all the hidden gems in this place. Case in point, King Christian IV was in the throes of battle and got shrapnel in his eye. Instead of making a big deal about it, he got the shrapnel taken out and made into earrings for his mistress. And they are on display here! How cool is that?

Maybe one of the smaller castles I saw (if you can call a castle small) during my time in Copenhagen. Dig the gardens and moat surrounding. There’s a small gift shop which seemed to be fairly crowded and which I avoided. We mostly walked the grounds and saw some of the museum artifacts. I think the most striking view of it all is the façade with the twin lions out front.

Ich war erst vor kurzem in diesem schönen Schloss und die Kronjuwelen haben mich beeindruckt. Eine sehr schöné Sammlung. Auch das Porzellan und die Augestaltung der Räume haben mir sehr gefallen. Einige Räume wirkten direkt gemütlich und ich könnte mir vorstellen hier zu wohnen.
Leider war nicht allzuviel Zeit, so konnte ich nur einen kurzen Blick in den Garten werfen, aber auch dieser hat mich wirklich neugieirg gemacht.
Ich mag Koppenhagen insgesammt und sicher ist auch Schloss Rosenburg einen weiteren Besuch wert.
Wir werden jedenfalls auf unserem nächsten Besuch hier sicher wieder verweilen

schön das rosenborg endlich zu besichtigen ist. das schloß ist nicht nur von außen spektakulär, sondern auch von innen sehenswert, vorallem den kronschatz sollte man gesehen haben

Schade, dass das Schloss verhüllt ist und nicht jeder Raum wegen Restaurierung nicht zugänglich sind! Die 20 DKK für das Fotografieren sind noch extra zu bezahlen. Das für den Keller der Ausgang hinten ist, ist verwirrend! Ansonsten ist die Sammlung ordentlich!

Der Park rund um das Schloss ist im Sommer wie im schneebedeckten Winter gleichermaßen schön und sollte bei jeder Kopenhagenreise ein Fixpunkt sein.

Ein wirklich schönes Schloss in einem tollen Park!
Im Schloss kan man einige gut ausgestattete Zimmer besichtigen und auch auf die Kronjuwelen sollte man einen Blick werfen. Was man bessser unterlassen sollte: sich zu lange am Eingang zu den Kronjuwelen aufhalten!
