Frederiksborg Castle: Largest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia Built in early 17th century by King Christian IV of Denmark, it incorporates the best of Renaissance construction, style and grace. Its Baroque garden and grounds are stupendous. It is the largest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia. Since 1878, the Museum of National History is located there. It includes 500 years of Danish history through many art forms. ‐dmn.dk King Christian IV built it between 1600 and 1621 as the Royal residence. It replaced a former castle acquired by King Frederik II, hence the name of palace. The Frederiksborg Castle burned down in 1859. It was rebuilt and furnished as a museum, thanks to the founder of Carlsberg brewery, J.C. Jacobsen (1847). The Chapel Wing was spared when Frederiksborg Palace burned in 1859. The chapel consecrated in 1617 includes the Compenius organ. Built by Esaias Compenius in 1610, it is a German Renaissance organ, installed in 1617. It is the oldest organ in Denmark with 1,001 wooden pipes with a manually driven blower (original and preserved). The organ is decorated in ebony, ivory and silver. ‐ kongeligeslotte.dk/ ‐ mypipeorganhobby.blogspot.com The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark or National Church is also referred to as the Church of Denmark. Christianity was widely recognized by the 11th century. In 1849 the Constitution of Denmark designated the National Church as the Church of Denmark and it became state supported. The Bishop of Copenhagen is the prime leader of the church. This photo program takes you through the grounds and into the castle.

The International Dissemination of Grundtvig's Educational Ideas
The International Dissemination of Grundtvig’s Educational Ideas II: A World Map of Folk High Schools By K. E. Bugge During the 1990s the global dissemination of Grundtvig’s educational ideas was a theme of considerable interest. Several projects were launched with the purpose of recording the process. At the turn of the decennium the need for an inclusive survey of these became obvious and consequently was implemented. In 2003 a report was published (in Danish) comprising (1) a schematized registration, 52 pages, (2) a verbalized report, 25 pages, and (3) a wall map visualizing the distri- bution of the 695 registered institutions. When an interest in the dissemination theme reemerged in 2011-12, it was decided that the time had come for translating report no. 2 into English. The Danish title of that second report was Folkehøjsko- lernes Verdenskort, i.e. A World Map of Folk High Schools, published by the Grundtvig Museum in Udby. Two updates on India and Australia respectively and a few explanatory notes have been added in this translation. The First Steps At the impressive exhibition celebrating the Grundtvig bicentenary in 1983, the Museum of National History at Frederiksborg Castle featured a map, designed by Svend Erik Bjerre, Principal of the Frederiksborg Folk High School, illustrating the world-wide influence of Grundtvig’s educational ideas. The information on the map was painted on two large cardboards and supplemented by a wealth of photos and texts available in the exhibition catalogue (Eller 1983). When, some years later, the board of the Grundtvig Museum in Udby wished to exhibit this map, it did no longer exist.

Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller
Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller TOUR OPTION 1 WEDNESDAY, 17 JUNE 2020 17:00 (5PM) sharp! MEET IN THE HOTEL LOBBY FOR A TOUR OF COPENHAGEN’S LATIN QUARTER & A NO-HOST DINNER. YOUR GUIDE WILL BE OUR VERY OWN COMMANDER JENS A. VEXO. WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE Latinerkvarteret Stylish Latinerkvarteret, or the Latin Quarter, is known for charming, colorful buildings on Mejlgade street, including the 17th- century Juul’s House. Buzzing Pustervig Square is home to global eateries and hip cafes serving traditional smørrebrød open- faced sandwiches. Cultural venues include East of Eden, a tiny cinema showing foreign and indie films, and the Women’s Museum, telling 150 years of women’s stories. The neighborhood dates back to the 1200’s, with the founding of a Latin school (hence the name), and later, the University of Copenhagen was created here in the 1400’s, lending an air of intellectual vibrancy to the narrow streets lined with medieval buildings. And while it’s an ideal place for visitors to base themselves during a visit to the Denmark’s largest city, it’s also convenient. From here, some of the best drinking, eating and sites in the city are all about a ten-minute walk away, in neighborhoods like Vesterbro and Indre By (the city center). We will visit… Rosenborg Castle Far more intimate than Europe’s usual imperial palaces, the turreted 17th-century Rosenborg Castle has three cozy floors with gilded chambers, chinoiserie, and intricate tapestries. In warm months, pick up lunch to go from the nearby smørrebrød shop Aamanns and go for a picnic on the lush grounds.

MØN Masterplan English Holiday Village
SUKKER FABRIKKEN MØN masterplan english Holiday Village e are very pleased to present the plans for the "Sukkerfa- brikken" - a forward looking holiday village which will be situated in the grounds of the old Sugar Factory by WStege Harbour. With an attractive location right by Stege Bay, the holiday village will accommodate an array of experiences, activities, and up to 500 holiday homes. Møn is one of Denmark’s foremost tourist destinations with Møns Klint as the internationally renowned main attraction. With the establishment of the Fehmarnbelt link - the tunnel across Fehmarnbelt - the island of Møn will be within easy reach for 15 million people in northern Germany, Denmark, and southern Sweden. We envisage that Møn will become the focal point of south-east Denmark’s tourism in the future. The location of ’Sukkerfabrikken Møn’ enables us to build right down to the coast - and even in the water and because the holiday village is situated on the edge of Stege town the development will be without any negative consequences for nature and the unspoiled coastline. This is also one of the reasons why the project is amongst one of the ten projects selected for an initiative by the national insti- tution Dansk Kyst- og Naturturisme which aims to develop, grow and strengthen the coastal tourism industry in Denmark. With the help of many business people and the country’s best con- sultancy firms, we have been working on the plans for several years. We hope that the prospectus will generate interest amongst poten- tial operators, investors, and all who wish to back this quantum leap forward for tourism in eastern Denmark.
