Day 4 - Copenhagen Rosenborg Castle and Treasury

Rosenborg Castle is a renaissance castle located in Copenhagen. The castle was originally built as a country summerhouse in 1606 and is an example of Christian IV's many architectural projects. It was built in the Dutch Renaissance style, typical of Danish buildings during this period, and has been expanded several times, finally evolving into its present condition by the year 1624. Architects Bertel Lange and Hans van Steenwinckel the Younger are associated with the structural planning of the castle.  The Crown Jewels, the Danish Crown Regalia and Coronation Carpet are all stored there. The Throne Chair of Denmark is also located in the castle. The Rosenborg Castle Garden is the country's oldest royal garden and was embellished in the Renaissance style by Christian IV shortly before the construction of the main castle. Next to the castle are barracks where the Royal Life Guards is housed.
