just across the way from the Rundtaaren are the inviting gardens of the Rosenburg Slot, a palace built as a summer retreat for Christian IV.
The palace itself is a dizzying mixture of roccoco and gilt, mirrors and strange headed statues of long-faced royals. There's a distinctly surreal aspect to it all, a memento mori of death-masked by-gones.
The adjoining Treasury houses a display of crown jewels guarded by young troops from the Danish army. The display is small but fascinating and commands respect - rather like Denmark itself
