The foremost symbols of the Kingdom of Denmark - the crown, the sceptre, and the orb - have been kept at Rosenborg Castle since the 1680s. Here one can also see a number of the monarchy's other central objects: the baptismal font that has been used by the royal family since the 17th century, the silver lions, as well as the collection of crown jewels founded by Queen Sophie Magdalene in the mid-18th century, and which are still worn by the Queen on major occasions.This book is part of the Crown Series, a series of small books on the Danish monarchy and related subjects published in cooperation with the Royal Danish Collection.
