Royal Toilet in Rosenborg Castle, Copenhagen Magnet

Rosenborg castle in Copenhagen, Denmark, has two throne rooms, one for public display with its Throne Chair in the Long Hall, and this different sort of throne, a toilet in a room decorated with Dutch tiles. The toilet emptied into the moat surrounding the castle. Danish King Christian IV built Rosenborg Castle (Danish: Rosenborg Slot) as his pleasure castle in a park in 1606. The castle was originally built as a country summerhouse and is an example of Christian IV's many architectural projects. It was built in the Dutch Renaissance style, typical of Danish buildings during this period, and has been expanded several times, finally evolving into its present condition by the year 1624. The castle is open to the public for tours and houses a museum exhibiting the Royal Collections, artifacts spanning a breadth of royal Danish culture, from the late 16th century of Christian IV to the 19th century. Some of these articles once belonged to the nobility and the aristocracy. The castle, now state property, was opened to the public in 1838. The Danish Crown Jewels and the Danish Crown Regalia are exhibited in the castle. A Coronation Carpet is also stored there.
