Global Treasures - History's Most Protected Monuments - Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa's Serengeti, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America make up our world's heritage. Join us as we explore one of these protected monuments.

Due to its magnificent architecture and wonderful park, Copenhagen's Rosenborg Castle is a fairytale-like castle. It has also enjoyed a long tradition as a museum, and since 1838, various collections belonging to the Danish royal family have been exhibited within its walls.

For more than 150 years, the rooms and halls of the castle, including the study of King Christian IV, have been open to the public.

Today, a walk through the rooms of Rosenborg Castle is tantamount to stepping in the footsteps of the Danish royal family. The transformation of the castle into a museum took place in the 19th century.

The idyllic royal gardens of Kongens Have, "The King's Garden," are in pleasant contrast to the dominant and historical splendor of the castle.

Along with its park, Rosenborg Castle is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Copenhagen.
