Frederiksborg Castle




















We took at trip to Hillerød today to visit a royal castle. It was erected late 1500s. It was the seat of Christian IV (aka Christian the tyrant in Sweden). A fire destroyed the castle and it was rebuilt and turned into a museum by J.C. Jacobsen - a Danish beer baron. Denmark's most important portraits and history paintings are kept here. And what a magnificant place to visit; absolutely gorgeous! The girls even got to try on replicas of dresses worn by princesses! Some of the photos turned out a bit blurry due to the fact that we were not allowed to use a flash.
