The Caritas
Well
Copenhagen’s oldest
fountain was built in
1608 by Christian IV.
Each year on the Queen’s
birthday, golden apples
jump in the fountain.
10
Rosenborg Castle
The summer hermitage was built by
Christian IV in the 17th century and
became his favoured residence.
Here you can experience 300 years of the
history of the Danish kings, and see the
pomp and circumstance they surrounded
themselves with in the form of valuable
furniture and art treasures. In the Great Hall
the thrones are guarded by three silver lions,
and the tapestries on the walls represent
scenes from battles between Denmark and
Sweden. The heavily guarded crown jewels
and royal crowns sparkle in the treasury
beneath the castle.

The Church of
Our Lady
The Neoclassical
church is Copenhagen’s
Cathedral, where
Crown Prince Frederik
was married to the
Australian Mary
Donaldson in 2004.
