We thought we knew what we'd see at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen Denmark. We really had no idea what we were in for! Rosenborg Castle is a must see attraction in Copenhagen.

The Rosenborg Castle is an obvious highlight location when visiting Copenhagen. The impressive Grounds, Castle, and of course the Crown Jewels make it a must see location. What we weren't expecting is how much more there is to see once you're there.
Whether you are a Architecture, Art, History, Jewelry, or Antiques enthusiast. The Rosenborg Castle has something interesting to see for everyone! We went on a Tuesday and it wasn't very busy at all. They encourage you to tour the Castle interior in an hour but we were there for longer and didn't get in anyone's way.
The cost to enter the Castle is $30 Canadian per person which is very reasonable in our opinion. If you are trying to decide which attractions to see in Copenhagen put the Rosenborg Castle at the top of your list.

the big spiral ivory behind the trone is from a Narhval. the danish kings sold them as unicorn horns :D

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@sonnychabert That makes it even better.

[@vrenak]

The elephant is an old heraldic symbol of wisdom, strength, spirituality and good fortune, the various symbols used in heraldry all have meanings behind them, they're not used because someone once thought they looked cool as people today might think. But were used to convey a message, the origins of the heraldic symbols was to distinguish people on the battlefield, so the first were often just geometric shapes and patterns, circles, chevrons, bars.

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@vrenak The Elephant imagery was an unexpected point of interest for sure. We started looking for it once we realized it was depicted in so much.

Greetings from a local 😁 ! Been to Rosenborg Castle several times. ❤ your VLOG (Really GOOD research) 👍 ! FYI ! The Barracks next door to the Castle; is home to Soldiers of the Royal Lifeguards, when in Copenhagen (otherwise, there stationed North of Copenhagen, doing Infantry stuff☺) . They have TWO jobs, apart from that 😀 ! Protecting Amalienborg Palace (Home of our Royal Family) and Guarding the Royal jewels at Rosenborg! And " they´re loaded for Bear 🤣" !!

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@KHValby Lol, nice. Rosenborg Castle really was a highlight of this trip. Amy can't wait to visit more Castles in Europe.

[@user-vc3kt6qe4h]

I love Rosenborg, its only in Denmark you can se the complent crown jewels

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@user-vc3kt6qe4h We knew we would like it but it was absolutely great.

[@blackcoffee13]

You may be amazed by the Crown Jewels, so you should see the British ones, i am Danish!

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@blackcoffee13 Don't sell yourself short. It's all about the Elephants.

[@blackcoffee13]

@@WhyWeBuyIt Jewels were a big part of the video, did I miss anything?

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@blackcoffee13 We loved the Art and Antiques also. Plus I'm into Horology and the Clocks on display were amazing.

[@carstenf279]

Great to see You enjoyed Rosenborg. You got most of the facts right, however the order of the elephant is not for everybody. Only members of the Royal family and foreign kings and presidents (it is not a military order or medal)

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@carstenf279 The tour guide is a bold faced liar then, lol. She said anyone could earn it.

[@carstenf279]

@@WhyWeBuyIt 🤣 - classic Danish behaviour - "if You dont know and You SHOULD know......wing it!

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@carstenf279 That isn't wholly Danish unfortunately. 😂

[@sebastianadlercreutz]

Not true, Both Mærsk, Niels Bohr, H.N. Andersen and Vilhelm Thomsen was awarded it.

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@sebastianadlercreutz That's the impression that we got. Is it possible that there are two versions?

[@verbalDK1]

I live in Copenhagen and have an annual ticket to Rosenborg so I visit it often. The only "problem" is that there are so many interesting things, beautiful details and yes, even gold and gems in such quantity, that the eye and the other senses get saturated too quickly... something similar to when you walk into a well-stocked perfumery and you quckly get "noseblind"

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@verbalDK1 lol, well said. It is a feast for the eyes. I imagine that it could get very busy in the summer. I'm sure you know the best time to go to avoid crowds though.

[@vrenak]

If you ever visit Rosenborg again and one or more displays of the jewelry are empty, it's because they're in use.

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@vrenak That's awesome that they're still in use.

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

Did you see Frederiksborg?

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@klausolekristiansen2960 I have seen it before but Amy has yet to see it. We are returning to Western Europe either next year or the year after for a longer stay. That will be on the list of places to visit.

[@Mr.J689]

Great video as always! The Rosenborg Castle elephants are not the only one in Copenhagen, did you see the Carlsberg Gate? Please come back soon - Greetings from Copenhagen 🙂 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_Tower,_Carlsberg#/media/File:Elefantporten_(Carlsberg).jpg

[@WhyWeBuyIt]

@@Mr.J689 It was a visit we considered but we drank so much in Sweden we decided against it. 😂

[@amyderonde2315]

That's really cool! we will definitely go there next time. 😊
