Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen

The Rosenborg Castle was built in the 1600's and is a treasure trove of beautiful artifacts. Different rooms have been decorated by the various kings and queens of the last four centuries and each has it's own unique style. There was so much to see floor to ceiling we had to move very slowly so we didn't miss anything; even the window frames had tiny sculpted scenes or jewelry displayed that one could miss if you moved through a room too fast. To top it off the basement had a room dedicated to displaying the king's and queen's crowns filled with rare stones and some of the loveliest royal jewelry. Surrounding the castle is a large garden that was open to the public with more sculptures and a large playground. I especially enjoyed all the carved elephants scattered throughout the castle.
