Rosenborg Castle was built in the years 1606-34 as the country residence of Christian IV outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace. He often stayed at Rosenborg when residing in Copenhagen, and died there in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son, King Frederik III, who together with his Queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several modernisations. The last King to reside at the palace was Frederik IV, and about 1720 Rosenborg gave way to Frederiksberg Castle as the preferred residence.
