Copenhagen: Rosenborg Castle Entry Ticket

Full description

Discover the Danish Crown Jewels at Rosenborg Castle, a small summer hermitage that became the favorite residence of King Christian IV. Admire the stunning coronation crown adorned with 2,000 precious stones and see the intricately designed Royal Regalia.

Located in the scenic King's Garden, Rosenborg Castle is an architectural treasure that invites you to admire the Danish Crown Jewels. Explore the Treasury to see the Royal Regalia, exclusive artifacts that have graced Denmark's monarchs.

Before you leave, be sure to take a moment to admire the baptismal font, historically used to christen each Danish prince and princess, including the current king, Frederik, and his family.

In the early 17th century, Christian IV commissioned Rosenborg to be built outside Copenhagen’s old town. Today, many of the rooms are preserved as they were in Christian IV’s time, and the pomp and circumstance of the past can be experienced in the form of the many furnishings and art treasures that surrounded Danish kings and queens until the 19th century.

Get up close to Christian IV’s crown from 1596. The crown is the oldest in Denmark and weighs almost 3 kilos. Together with the other regalia, its gold, pearls, and diamonds sparkle behind the thick walls of the Treasury beneath the castle.

See the Order of the Elephant, the most prestigious Danish order of chivalry, which was instituted in the 1460s. Several examples of the order can be seen in the Treasury. It is made of gold, enamel, and table-cut diamonds.
