Hotels near Rosenborg Castle

Built 1606-1633 by Christian IV as a summer house, Rosenborg Castle is a Dutch Renaissance brick palace set in the King's Garden (Kongens Have) - Copenhagen's oldest royal park. The 24 rooms preserve 400 years of royal furnishings, paintings, and curios across 3 floors. The basement Treasury holds the Danish Crown Jewels including the 1671 crown of Christian V.

Highlights include the Long Hall with its 7-metre stuccoed ceiling and 3 silver lions guarding the throne, the Glass Cabinet, and the Knights' Hall. The 1671 sword used in the crowning of every Danish monarch since is on display. Gardens are free and famously beautiful in spring tulip season. Admission 145 DKK adult; combined Rosenborg+Amalienborg ticket 220 DKK.

Pro Tip: Arrive at 10:00 opening to see the Treasury before tour groups arrive - it is a single narrow vault and gets crowded after 11:00. The King's Garden makes a perfect picnic spot afterwards.
