Rosenborg Castle is a Dutch Renaissance-style palace constructed in 1606 by King Christian IV as a summer residence. It functioned as a royal home until 1710 and currently serves as a museum housing the Royal Collections. The castle displays a sequence of royal chambers, including the King's study and the Marble Room. Its most significant features are the subterranean Treasury vaults, which hold the Danish Crown Jewels and Regalia. The architecture retains original 17th-century interior elements, such as the Long Hall and the coronation throne guarded by three silver lions. The castle is situated within the King’s Garden, Copenhagen's oldest royal garden. The museum exhibits artifacts spanning from the late 16th century through the 19th century. Extensive portrait collections line the walls, detailing the genealogy of the Danish monarchy. The structure is built of red brick with sandstone trimmings and stands as one of the few examples of Christian IV's architectural legacy in the city center.
