During July of 2011, I was fortunate enough to be traveling around Western Europe, and while in Denmark, I visited the Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen. The Castle consists of a huge Treasury in the basement, and 3 stories of elegant, royal rooms. It was quite the experience, and I recommend everyone to visit. |
