ROSENHOLM

The Reformation in 1536 affected society and religion, but also the Danish nobility. This was a period of change, in which the nobility could no longer legitimise their political and economic power on a military basis alone. Now they were compelled to acquire education and knowledge in order to justify their social position. The Rosencrantzes of Rosenholm are a good example not only of how the nobility adapted to the new world view, but also of how the family attempted to change and shape this world view.
