The story
What you'll find here
Frederiksborg is what a fairy-tale castle looks like when it's real: copper spires, red brick and gilded weather vanes mirrored in a lake, with a baroque garden climbing the hill behind it. Built by King Christian IV in the early 1600s, it now houses the Museum of National History — 500 years of Danish kings, queens, scandals and triumphs told through portraits and grand interiors. Don't miss the Great Hall and the astonishing chapel, where Danish monarchs were once anointed, and leave time for a slow walk through the gardens' clipped terraces.
