This castle was not in our plan to visit but was recommended to us by a local. We are so glad we listened because this castle was INCREDIBLE!! A must see for anyone visiting Copenhagen. We drove and it only took us about 40 minutes from our Airbnb in Ishøj!

The city where the castle is located is very nice and cozy and also the castle itself stands out. The money paired for the ticket were worth it. Loved walking around the castele which was I think fully opened for the public and I also liked the gardens outside the castle which were very pretty even tho I visited the castle in February. It’s a worth to try experience. I liked it.

Full description

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.

Take a break at the museum's restaurant, Rabarbergaarden Slottet, where the focus is on local, organic ingredients from a sustainable farm-to-table kitchen. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings in the former stable building at the largest Renaissance complex in the Nordics, where the restaurant is located.
