Rosenvold, Renaissance castle at Vejle Fjord, Denmark
Rosenvold is a manor house with Renaissance features situated at Vejle Fjord, distinguished by copper-roofed towers at both ends. The red brick structure is surrounded by farm buildings that form part of the larger estate complex.
The estate was built in 1585 after demolishing a previous fortification on the site. It became established under the control of a prominent noble family and developed into a regional seat of power.
The castle once served as a place of royal confinement for a queen after she lost the king's favor. This chapter remains woven into how locals and visitors understand the estate's role in Danish nobility.
The property is not open to visitors but can be viewed from nearby roads. The best vantage point is from the path leading toward the local beach.
One family has held the property for more than four centuries, keeping it through major political changes. This makes it one of the oldest continuously held noble estates in the region.
