Sorø Museum
Sorø Museum is a local history museum in Sorø, Denmark. It is housed within an old inn from 1624, one of the oldest buildings in the town. History King Christian IV ordered the establishment of the inn on 13 January 1624 so that visitors to his new Knight academy, which had opened the previous year, would not have to stay within the school grounds. Construction began the same year and was completed in 1625. The building later served as residences for professors at the Academy. The site also included a slaughterhouse. It has been a museum since 1923. Architecture The original building towards the street is 15 bays long and in two storeys. A number of details are typical of the Renaissance. Architect Frederik Carl Christian Hansen (1858–1823) designed an expansion of the building in 1899–1900 with two lateral wings, in one storey and with large gabled dormers, which project from its rear side. Another building to the rear of the one facing the street, also 15 bays lo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The current buildings date from the 1840s and were listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1949.

17th-century Danish Botanists
The 17th century lasted from January 1, 1601 ( MDCI), to December 31, 1700 ( MDCC). It falls into the early modern period of Europe and in that continent (whose impact on the world was increasing) was characterized by the Baroque cultural movement, the latter part of the Spanish Golden Age, the Dutch Golden Age, the French '' Grand Siècle'' dominated by Louis XIV, the Scientific Revolution, the world's first public company and megacorporation known as the Dutch East India Company, and according to some historians, the General Crisis. From the mid-17th century, European politics were increasingly dominated by the Kingdom of France of Louis XIV, where royal power was solidified domestically in the civil war of the Fronde.

Bursera
''Bursera'' is a genus with about 100 described species of flowering shrubs and trees varying in size up to high. It is the type genus for Burseraceae. The trees are native (often for many species endemic) to the Americas, from the southern United States south through to northern Argentina, in tropical and warm temperate forest habitats. It is named after the 17th-century Danish botanist Joachim Burser. Several Mexican species (such as '' B. aloexylon'' and '' B. delpechiana'') produce a type of wood known as ''linaloe'' (from Mexican Spanish , from Latin , ). They contain the aromatic oil linalool. A number of species from tropical Asia were once included in this genus, but are now treated in the genus ''Protium''. Species list sources : Formerly placed here *''Canarium paniculatum'' (Lam.)

Uppsala University
Uppsala University ( sv, Uppsala universitet) is a public research university in Uppsala, Sweden. Founded in 1477, it is the oldest university in Sweden and the Nordic countries still in operation. The university rose to significance during the rise of Sweden as a great power at the end of the 16th century and was then given a relative financial stability with a large donation from King Gustavus Adolphus in the early 17th century. Uppsala also has an important historical place in Swedish national culture, identity and for the Swedish establishment: in historiography, literature, politics, and music. Many aspects of Swedish academic culture in general, such as the white student cap, originated in Uppsala. It shares some peculiarities, such as the student nation system, with Lund University and the University of Helsinki. Uppsala belongs to the Coimbra Group of European universities and to the Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities. It has ranked among the wo ...

Early life Ulfeldt was the son of the chancellor Jacob Ulfeldt. He was educated abroad, concluding with one year under Cesare Cremonini at Padua. He returned to Denmark in 1629.
