Mnóstwo ciekawych rzeczy do obejrzenia, wartownicy w tradycyjnych ubiorach ( jak w Londynie) fajnie to wygląda, czyli historia, architektura i tradycja. Wystarczy żeby się wybrać.

Das Standbild wurde von dem französischen Bildhauer Jacques-François-Joseph Saly geschaffen. Es zeigt Frederik V. (1723–1766) in römischer Kleidung hoch zu Ross und gilt als eines der bedeutendsten Reiterstandbilder Europas des 18. Jahrhunderts.

Άλλο ένα σημαντικό σημείο ιστορικού ενδιαφέροντος στο κέντρο της πόλης. Επιβλητικό άγαλμα μπροστά στα ανάκτορα. Τυχερός είδα και την αλλαγή στη φρουρά. Το προτείνω..
