I present for your viewing pleasure, Rosenborg Castle. The original castle was built in 1606, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Castle history:

Because the old medieval castle, Copenhagen Castle, was hopelessly old-fashioned, Christian IV was in need, as a young, ambitious Renaissance ruler, of a fitting residence in Copenhagen In 1606 he therefore bought up to 40 lots outside the Norrevold wall, which apart from providing the space for his pleasure palace also had space for a magnificent park an kitchen garden for supplying the court.

The castle began humbly as a small summer palace, but over the course of 28 years it went through four stages of development, and the castle we know today was finished in 1633. Christian IV loved to stay at the castle, which became his favourite. So great was his love for the castle that on his deathbed at Frederiksborg he commanded that he be transported by sleigh to Rosenborg in order to end his days there. He passed on in his bedchamber.

Rosenborg as a royal residence:

Rosenborg was used as a royal residence until around 1710 when Christian IV's great-grandchild Frederik IV gave it up in favour of other, more up-to-date summer residences. Instead, he had the palace made into the home of the royal collections. This is the reason why there are so many well-preserved interiors, which are quite unique to Rosenborg.

Originally the palace was arranged so that the private chambers were on the ground floor. The king had the northern end, and the queen the southern. In the middle, there was a transverse antechamber, from which a wooden staircase led to the 1st floor. Here the entire southern end was occupied by the 'The Red Hall', which was the ballroom in the first pleasure palace. In the middle section was an antechamber, and at the northern end, the kind had his audience chamber. The arrangement of rooms around the Great Hall on the 2nd floor is unchanged.

During Frederik III's time the king and queen swapped apartments on the ground floor, and the rooms were decorated as befitted an absolute monarch. Frederik III also had an 'ascending chair' (lift) built in the northern tower.

Christian V is most remembered for having had 12 tapestries of his victories in the Scanian Way woven for the Great Hall. Frederik IV was more radical in his approach. The transverse antechamber on the ground floor was divided into the Stone Passage and the Dark Room, which the king had furnished as a common bedroom for the Royal Couple. The arrangement of rooms on the 1st floor was altered to the current one.

Following Frederik IV Rosenborg was only used as a royal residence on two occasions, both emergencies: after the first at Christianborg in 1794, and during the English attack on Copenhagen in 1801.
