Experience Frederiksborg Castle and Museum of National History with magnificent halls, portraits, history paintings, and special exhibitions. Located just 35 minutes north of Copenhagen.
The impressive Renaissance castle was built by Christian IV in the early 17th century to show-case the king’s power. With its fairytale-like location in the middle of the Castle Lake, surrounded by the Baroque Garden and the romantic landscape garden, Frederiksborg Castle offers a unique destination with great cultural experiences, gastronomy, garden walks, and boat trips with the Little Ferry on the Castle Lake throughout the summer.
Museum of National History and National Portrait Gallery
Frederiksborg Castle serves both as Museum of National History and National Portrait Gallery. The portrait collection is the country’s largest and most significant and history paintings communicate important national events.
Experience the pomp and splendor of bygone times up close: The Castle Church, the Great Hall, and the Audience Hall, provide insight into changing periods and styles. Additionally, changing special exhibitions are shown each year.
Frederiksborg for children
