Crowns

Crown of Bohemia


The Christian IV Crown on display in the treasury at Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen, Denmark.



The video I took while at the Treasury. My husband waited outside while I explored the vast castle. The Treasury is in the basement!

Christian IV of Denmark Crown
The Christian IV crown has amazing gold work and enameling details. Large diamonds have been taken out of some parts of the crown, such as the ones that used to be above the pear pearls, above.
