About the castle:
Frederiksborg Castle is located in the middle of Hillerød on three islands in the castle lake.
The oldest parts of the castle were built in 1560 by King Frederik II and the castle is named after him. The majority of the present castle was built between 1600-1620 by Frederik II's son, Christian IV in Dutch Renaissance style with sweeping gables, sandstone decorations and copper-covered roofs and spires.

The castle burnt in 1859 but was rebuilt from 1860-84 with financial support from brewer J. C. Jacobsen and later by the Carlsberg Foundation. The part of the castle with the two low round towers on the southernmost island beside the S-bridge that connects the first and middle islets were part of Frederik II's original Frederiksborg as were the small Bath House between The Enclosure and the small Deer Park.

Lidt om slottet:
Frederiksborg Slot ligger midt i Hillerød på tre slotsholme i slotssøen, omkranset af Frederiksborg Slotshave. Slottet er bygget i Nederlandsk renæssancestil i begyndelsen af 1600-tallet af Christian IV - og genopført ca. 250 år senere efter en ødelæggende brand af en anden stor dansker, brygger J.C. Jacobsen.

Slottet bebos af Det Nationalhistoriske Museum, som rummer en betydelig samling af portrætter og historiemalerier samt moderne kunst. Set som en helhed gives et billede af Danmarkshistorien og dens vigtige skikkelser. Frederiksborg Slotskirke blev skånet, da resten af slottet brændte i 1859. Derfor står kirken den dag i dag med fantastiske udskårne trælofter fra Christian IV's tid.
