Rosenborg Slot

Rosenborg Castle was built as a royal summer residence by King Christian IV in 1606-34. The King designed the Castle himself in Dutch Renaissance style and lived here until he died in 1648. The Castle was at that time outside the ramparts of Copenhagen with its own kitchen and flower gardens. In 1838 Rosenborg Castle was opened as a museum to the public and the royal crown jewel are kept in the castle cellars.

Alas, I've got no pictures of the crown jewels as cameras (and mobile phones) are forbidden inside! There's a few pictures here though...
