Frederiksborg - a unique Renaissance castle in Scandinavia.

Picturesquely located in the centre of the castle lake in Hillerød lies Frederiksborg Castle, the largest in Scandinavia.

This unique Renaissance castle was built by Christian IV in the first decade of the 17th century, as a testimony to the king’s position as a powerful North European monarch.

The lavish castle is rich in detail and impressive handiwork, and a visit offers an excellent opportunity to experience the pomp and circumstance of earlier times.
