About
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.
