The Castle of Copenhagen, Center of Power – a Journey Through 900 Years
Christiansborg: The Queen's Reception Halls, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Parliament
In 1157 King Valdemar the Great donated the fishing hamlet, Havn, with its catchment area to his foster brother, Absalon, Bishop of Roskilde. Absalon soon raised a castle on an artificial island off the shore. Our tour begins in the remnants of this castle, for the walls still stand, deep under the present castle and castle square.
Following this, we shall walk around on the "Castle Island" of what would be known as the Copenhagen Castle. At the beginning of the 15th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark, and the castle became the center of power for the Kalmar Union of Denmark, Norway (including Greenland and Iceland), and Sweden-Finland.
In 1733, the medieval castle was rebuilt into a dreamlike baroque castle, which, however, partially burned down in 1794. The burned-down parts were rebuilt in the classicist style by C. F. Hansen in 1828, of which the Castle Church remains, while the central parts of the castle burned again in 1884. The present castle was inaugurated in 1928.
In the last half of the tour, we shall see the Queen's reception halls and the Throne Room within the castle, which are open to the public when Her Majesty does not use them. Here we shall review the entire history of the castle and the kingdom, aided by the extraordinary tapestries.
Time permitting, we may visit the Castle Church.
The tour begins and ends in the Inner Courtyard of the castle.

Royal Copenhagen Tour – City Walk and Rosenborg Castle
Experience one of Denmark's most well-preserved castles. Rosenborg is home to the Danish crown jewels, but also has a unique collection of art, furniture, and quirky items.
We will explore the favorite castle of king Christian IV, known as the great "builder king" in Danish history. We will admire the magnificent furniture and decorated rooms, while learning about the sometimes funny, sometimes sad stories of kings and queens of the past.
Experience the story of Christian IV's death and see the treasures from his legendary battle against the Swedes, which provided inspiration for one of Denmark's national anthems.
Learn about the royal scandal that resulted in the creation of the current Queen's Crown and discover the sarcastic "gift" that a king gave to his unfaithful wife.
We start the tour with a visit to Rosenborg Castle, which was previously the kings' summer house outside Copenhagen's city limits. We visit the well-preserved rooms where the royal family previously lived and see the crown jewels in the basement, which are some of Europe's oldest.
Afterwards, we will stroll through the King's Garden, greeting Hans Christian Andersen's statue along the way, and wander through king Frederik V's distinguished "City of Frederik" to Amalienborg Palace. Here you can admire one of the most beautiful palace squares in Northern Europe, admire the royal guards, and learn why the four mansions of Amalienborg jointly became the royal family's permanent Copenhagen residence.
Depending on how early you want to start the tour, we can finish by seeing the royal guard exchange at noon. The tour can also be extended to a long city walk in Copenhagen.

Classicism, the Architecture of Eternity in Copenhagen
In Copenhagen's classicist buildings we see some architectural principles, which have been respected since antiquity. Always characterized by simplicity and elegance, the rationale is utility, durability and beauty.
It began almost 3,000 years ago, when the Greeks emphasized the beauty of harmonious proportions and simplicity in a way that has never been forgotten. With the work of the Roman Marc Vitruvius (75-25 BC), "De Architectura", the principles were established in writing, and in 16th-century Europe, the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) ensured with Villa Capra (la Rotunda,) i.a., that no one would forget classicism, its Golden Ratio and elegant columns.
In Denmark, it is primarily Christian F. Hansen's (1756-1845) architecture from the beginning of the 19th century that represents the ultimate classicism. However, his teacher, Caspar F. Harsdorff, was the one who introduced it in the second half of the previous century.
Come with me and see the "noble simplicity and quiet grandeur" of these buildings. See how nothing is accidental, nothing is inharmonious, everything is as Palladio might have done it. In short, see why Classicism will never leave us.

We continue to Frederik's Church and go inside so I can reveal its stormy history. After viewing the axis towards the equestrian statue we go to the square in front of the four mansions which today form the royal palace Amalienborg.

Copenhagen and the Wars Against Britain
Join me on an exciting guided tour of Copenhagen. We'll investigate two of the most deadly battles in Denmark's history: the First Battle of Copenhagen, in Danish: Slaget på Reden and the Second Battle of Copenhagen.
We'll start the guided tour at Holmens Kirkegård, the Holmen Cemetery, where we'll see the monument dedicated to the fallen of the Danish Defense Line in the Battle of Copenhagen and afterwards we'll continue to Classens Have, a lovely garden where one of the most important attacks against the enemy took place. Afterwards we'll head towards what is left of the fortifications of Copenhagen, where the final but hopeless stand against the British took place during the Second Battle of Copenhagen before we walk the short distance to Østerport Station.
From Østerport we'll go by S-train to the city centre, where the bombs and rockets fell. We'll end the tour at the Church of Our Lady, the cathedral of Copenhagen. During the bombardment of Copenhagen its burning spire collapsed and fell through the roof. A fitting symbol of the futile Danish attempt to stay neutral while the great powers fought for supremacy in Europe.
