Frederiksborg Castle is one of the most famous castles in Denmark and for good reason: situated on three islands surrounded by a lake and beautiful gardens, it's simply breathtaking. Home to the Museum of National History, the grounds are full of rich history, architecture, and gardens. Frederiksborg Castle was built in the early decades of the 17th century by King Christian IV. It is the largest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia, and it incorporates the very best of Renaissance architecture and craftsmanship.

Coming to Denmark 🇩🇰, you must first go to the museum. Although the appearance is general, the interior decoration can compete with the Schönbrunn Palace in Austria. The back garden can also see the shadow of the French garden. But the interior decoration of its church surprised me. The cross-shaped dome display is matched with Gothic decoration, which is very gorgeous. The oil painting is Andersen, and his crash, he has been sending him a good person card (brother card) for a lifetime. There is also a super beautiful princess, her father is the prime minister, and her mother is the queen... Yes, the father is not the king... The royal families of all countries are really famous...

Frederiksborg Castle is located in Hillerød, which is relatively close to Copenhagen and easy to get to by train. It is a beautiful castle standing on the lakeside, and inside it is a museum. The interior decoration is elaborate and luxurious, and worth seeing. The ceiling decoration is particularly magnificent. It also has historical exhibits, so it is a recommended castle. We didn't have much time to see, but there is a garden, so I think it would be good to enjoy the garden as well. You can also walk around the lake and enjoy the castle reflected in the lake from various angles. #EuropeTravel #Denmark #Hillerød #FrederiksborgCastle

The castle in the fairy tale is Frederiksborg. This castle is so beautiful and dreamy to the extreme. The first picture was taken from the castle garden. Frederikshavn Castle is located in Hillerød, a suburb of Copenhagen. It takes about an hour to get there by S train from Copenhagen. You don't have to pay extra if you use the Copenhagen Card. When you arrive at Hillerød station, you will see a whole row of bus stops when you exit the station. Take bus 301 or 302 to Frederiksborg Slot. After getting off the bus, you can directly see Frederiksborg Castle. Walk in that direction. The National Museum of Denmark has been located in the castle since 1878. Frederik Castle was built during the reign of Christian IV (1588-1648) and was rebuilt after a fire in 1859. Frederick Castle was originally built by Frederick II, but the entire castle as we see it today was mainly expanded by Christian IV. There are different exhibition halls in the castle, let me introduce them to you: The Rose Room Also known as the Knights' Hall, it was called this way during the time of Christian IV and was a restaurant provided for the use of royal nobles. This hall was destroyed in a fire in 1858, and what we see now is a later reconstruction imitating the original style. Le Grand Hall It is a major attraction of the castle and also the most magnificent and luxurious hall in the entire castle. This hall usually displays some special events of the museum. In addition to the exquisite and luxurious wood carvings on the entire ceiling of this hall, there are 26 huge woven tapestries hanging on the walls, all of which tell the history of Denmark, whether it is war or coronation ceremony. chapel This church is also a major attraction of Frederick Castle. The interior is decorated with marble. Fortunately, this church was spared from the fire in 1859 and was well preserved. What is special is that this church is a knight's church. The knight's shields displayed in this church are from the knights who have made contributions to the Danish nation. After visiting the entire castle, I ask everyone to make sure to go to the castle garden, because it is so beautiful that a whole large lake surrounds the castle. Isn’t it too dreamy?
