Frederiksborg Castle or Slot is located a short transit ride outside of Copenhagen. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV between 1602 and 1620. The current castle replaced one built by King Frederick II and some parts of the castle still date back to that building (built as early as 1560). Since the death of Christian IV, the castle was mainly used for ceremonial events such as coronations and many Danish kings and queens were crowned here. The castle now houses the Museum of National History.
The two must see rooms are the Great Hall (seen above) and the Church. Walking into the empty Great Hall was amazing. The ornate decorations cover the walls and ceiling making it an impressive sight to behold.
