The King’s Garden

The King’s Garden

• 3 minutes reading time

In 1606, King Christian IV purchased land outside the city’s eastern rampart. The idea was to build a pleasant summer residence where he could spend the summer, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. He also established a kitchen garden and a park spacious enough for entertainment. Eventually, the house became Rosenborg Castle, while the park today is known as The King’s Garden. Now, the garden is open to the public, and the people of Copenhagen make wide use of it. Approximately 3 million people visit The King’s Garden annually.

The Gardens

Since the laying out of The King’s Garden, it has undergone many changes, although the original division of the park into squares can still be detected. Originating from the 1700s, the two long lime tree avenues intersect the garden from the southwest to the northeast.
