About

Baroque palace housing the Museum of National History, set on three small islands.

Frederiksborg Castle, also known as Frederiksborg Slot, is a Baroque palace in Hillerød, a town in northern Denmark. Its address is Møntportvejen 5, 3400 Hillerød. The castle is set on three small islands, so approaching it means crossing water and taking in the building's reflection as you go.

What to expect

The palace houses the Museum of National History, which makes it a natural choice for visitors interested in Danish history. Rather than a single story, the museum gathers a broad range of material that traces the country's past, and the rooms themselves are part of the experience.

Planning your visit

  • Setting: the castle sits on three islands, with water around its walls.
  • Style: a Baroque palace, shaped by its architecture as much as by its collections.
  • Contact: you can call +45 48 26 04 39 before you travel.
  • Location: Hillerød, in Denmark, which is easy to combine with other stops in the area.

Frederiksborg suits a visit that combines history with architecture. Allow time for the building and its surroundings, and check details directly with the castle before setting out.
