Catalogue Note
Rosenborg Castle was originally built as a summer house in 1606. The castle was used by Danish regents as a royal residence until around 1710. After the reign of Frederik IV, Rosenborg was used as a royal residence only twice, once when Christiansborg Palace burned down in 1794, and again during the British attack on Copenhagen in 1801.
