Lifelike lions of silver
In Riddersalen the throne chairs stand, guarded by three lifelike silver lions - one walking, one sitting and one partially lying. The purpose of the throne chairs and the three lions was to stage the royal power in a pompous and awe-inspiring manner.
The king throne in narwhal tusk, the queen throne of silver and the guardian lions are together a spectacular sight!
Crown Jewels and Crowns
In the basement of Rosenborg Castle you will find Skatkammeret, which contains the Danish crown jewels, the crown regalia such as scepter and royal apple, as well as the crown of the queen and the monarchical kings.
The magnificent collection of the Danish crown jewels is the result of a large number of queens and a single princess's great interest in beautiful jewelery and gems. The crown jewels may only be worn by the Queen and only in Denmark.
The beautiful crown jewels, whose history started with Christian 6.'s queen, Sophie Magdalene, are a must see when visiting Rosenborg Castle.

What to do at Rosenborg Castle?
1. Foolish
Find a tree and say it's the can. Then there must be a person who is also the can, all the others must hide and the can must find the others, but those who hide must go to the tree and say & #8220; everyone out of the can & #8221; and then they have won.
2. Stickball
You have to have a ball, an adult has to throw it in the air, and the person who grabs it has to shoot a person. You must not take any steps with the ball, and if you die you must stand with crossed legs. You are also dead if there is someone who has grabbed your ball. When you are dead and standing with crossed legs and the ball rolls towards one, and when you reach the ball with your hands, you are alive again.
