Here's what I did Thursday (while Michael was workin' :)
I visited Rosenborg Castle which the first part of was built in 1606-1607 by King Christian IV as a "summerhouse". It was added onto throughout the 1600s to what it is today. The castle has not really been used since 1710, so, the interiors are excellently preserved. It felt just like a castle in January probably felt during that time...cold and dark, with the only real light coming in through the windows and a few small candles around.
These are the crowns of King Christian V and his queen whose reign began in 1671.
This is Christian IVs crown from 1595
After leaving the Rosenborg Castle, I trekked up the "round tower". I don't know how high it is, or how far you actually walk up a steady incline...but, I had to stop and rest a couple of times :)
