Rosenborg Castle

After the food tour we walked over to Rosenborg Castle. Rosenborg castle was built by Christian IV to have a residence in Copenhagen, in addition to Fredericksborg Castle. It is also where the Danish Crown Jewels are kept.

This is a view from the entrance to the area.

This is the other side of the Castle which extends into a large park and gardens.

Here is one of the garden areas.

This is the great hall, which has all of the walls covered with tapestries.

Thrones, of course.

Here is a good view of one of the 16 tapestries covering the walls of the great room.

The Treasury holds the Crown Jewels, but it also holds many other artifacts of gold, silver, ivory, amber, etc. It even included a set of miniature war figures. (I don't think Ross could use these for the Flames of War game)

Christian IV Crown

The current crowns of the King and Queen of Denmark. Sometimes items, even the Crowns, in the Treasury are not on display because the royalty are wearing them.
