Rosenborg Castle, Renaissance castle in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
Rosenborg Castle features three floors of ornate rooms with symmetrical proportions, Dutch-inspired architecture, and four corner towers topped with spires.
King Christian IV commissioned the construction of Rosenborg as a summer residence in 1606, expanding it several times until its completion in 1624.
The Knights Hall contains the coronation thrones, decorated with narwhal tusks, and three silver lions that guard the royal treasures.
The castle museum presents royal artifacts daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with advance ticket purchases recommended during peak tourist seasons.
The castle basement vaults contain the Danish Crown Jewels, including four sets of ornaments featuring diamonds, rubies, pearls, and emeralds.
