Fredensborg Castle Gardens are one of the largest historical gardens in Denmark and one of the most beautiful baroque gardens not only in Denmark but in all of Scandinavia.

The long straight avenues radiating out from the chateau in a star shape are a feature of the garden's original French Baroque style. The star shape makes the castle a powerful center that once symbolized the power of the autocratic king, where the winding avenues were meant to demonstrate man's ability to dominate nature.

The garden is richly decorated with sculptures, which were mainly created in the period 1760-1770.

The romantic style, to which the castle garden was partially converted between 1833 and 1850, can be clearly seen in the natural forest areas of the garden. The reorganization meant most avenues were removed.

In the last quarter of the 20th century, most of the avenues from the baroque period were recreated so that you can once again experience the wide view of the Esrumsee.
