Frederiksborg Castle is the most important building of the Nordic Renaissance. Inside is the Danish National History Museum. The baroque garden invites you to relax and linger. A boat trip around the castle is also possible.

The Baroque Garden is the most famous and eye-catching part of Frederiksborg Palace Gardens and the one that many associate with the palace. It was built by Frederik IV in the 1720s with Johan Cornelius Krieger as the architect. The baroque garden is described as a magnificent work of garden art.

The garden is laid out in four terraces. The tight lines and sinewy hedges, the finely trimmed grassy slopes and the clipped yews and boxwoods show how the ideal in the 18th century was man's domination of nature.

A gem. Not big compared to other European gardens but very well maintained and beautiful in any case. The box hedges (2022) were still small because they were newly planted... the predecessors probably fell victim to a pest.
