Frederiksborg Castle

Hillerød, Capital Region, Denmark

Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, Denmark's Capital Region, is Scandinavia's largest Renaissance palace, built by King Christian IV from 1602-1620 on three islets in Slotssøen lake after demolishing an earlier structure started by his father Frederik II.

Designed to showcase royal power with ornate Dutch-influenced architecture, it features the stunning Chapel of the Holy Trinity—still used for royal anointings—a grand Marble Gallery, Neptune Fountain, and opulent interiors housing the Museum of National History since 1880.

Adjoined by expansive Baroque gardens restored in the 1990s, the fairy-tale complex draws visitors for its historical exhibits, serene lakeside setting amid Gribskov and Dyrehave forests, and easy access from Copenhagen by train. A devastating 1859 fire gutted much of the interior, but philanthropist J.C. Jacobsen of Carlsberg funded its meticulous reconstruction.
