Description
Discover the Danish Versailles, the largest renaissance complex in the Nordic Region. Explore the museum's collections and admire 500 years of Danish history and art.
Experience Frederiksborg Castle and museum with magnificent halls, portraits, history paintings, and special exhibitions only 35 minutes north of Copenhagen. The impressive Renaissance castle was built in the first decades of the 17th century by the Danish king Christian IV. Outside you find the Baroque Garden and Castle Lake.
A visit to Frederiksborg gives you the opportunity to experience the pomp and splendor of earlier times up close. With its fabulous location in the middle of Castle Lake, surrounded by the Baroque Garden and the romantic landscaped garden, Frederiksborg is a unique excursion destination with great cultural experiences, garden walks, and boat trips with The Small Ferry throughout summer.
The museum at Frederiksborg Castle comprises both the Museum of National History and the Danish National Portrait Gallery. The Renaissance castle dates back to the time of king Christian IV (1588-1648) and today, hundreds of portraits and history paintings showcase important faces and events in the history of Denmark. The collection of portraits is the largest and most significant in Denmark, with new works continually added to the collection.
The symmetry, sculpted trees, and royal monograms of Frederik IV’s Baroque Garden from the 1720s stand in contrast to the romantic landscape garden, with its wild forest, winding streams, and Frederik II’s Bath House Castle from 1580. Visitors can also see Countess Danner’s Norwegian-inspired cabin on an island in one of the landscape garden’s several lakes.
