A little bit of history…

Rosenholm Castle is Denmark’s oldest family-owned castle. It is one of the best-preserved castles  from the golden age of the manor houses.  It was founded in 1559 by the Danish nobleman Jörgen Rosenkrantz. His family is among the oldest and most famous in Danish history.

I was very impressed by the library of the castle. There were books that Martti Luther had given to Jörgen Rosenkrantz after the Protestant Reformation (reformation started about 1517).  I had to touch them even if I shouldn’t.

Twenty tons of stones…

On Monday we started with a new project and it will last at least next two weeks. We build a stone edge around the church in village called Fruering. The edge is going to be 80 cm wide. The slope must be 10 cm.

Jens and Rasmus had excavated the land around the church a few weeks ago. So we just put the sand replacement. After that we added  installation sand.

After pressing the sand we started with the installation of the stones. Afterwards we added the sand between the stones.

We worked on it all week and the job will continue…
