Corridor at Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), leading from the main castle building to the audience chamber.
This royal castle was built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence.
The castle was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859, but this part was spared. The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.

At the lush, green gardens surrounding the Frederiksborg castle - some of the park is designed with a much harder hand, but this is the outskirts where things are allowed a more natural look.

So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.

This shot was actually a coin-toss between being in the angle or flipped 90 degrees. The other angle gives a better view of the lamp, but you see the ceiling better this way.
The Audience Chamber at Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot).
This royal castle was built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence. The Audience chamber got a real face-lift in the 1680s when the king's master builder Lambert van Haven was set on making the place more modern. The original Renaissance interior is not completely lost, but reworked to work with Baroque elements. This is today the oldest preserved Baroque room in Denmark (according to Wikipedia). The chandelier with the deer dates to 1625 and was made by Hans Ocksen.
The castle was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859, but this part was spared and is original. The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.

This fountain is at Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), and was originally built by the Dutch sculptor Adriaen de Vries, known for his work in the Northern Mannerism style. The fountain was finished in 1622. But the pieces you see here are not the originals. They can be found at the Swedish royal castle Drottningholm... Because in 1650s, when Sweden and Denmark was at war (those were different times!) the Swedish king and his troops took all they could carry - and then some! The pieces you see now were made in 1888, from models made from the original (in the late 19th century, the relations between Denmark and Sweden were very, very different from the 17th).

You can choose what you like best. I was just happy I went there...
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The chapel, consecrated in 1617, is also part of the museum. It is the best preserved part of the Renaissance complex, having largely escaped damage in the 1859 fire. The chapel extends along the entire length of the west wing with a long nave and a two-storey gallery. The richly decorated six-vaulted stucco ceiling is borne by pillars rising from the galleries.
The pillars bear grisaille frescos of Biblical figures, painted in the 1690s. The galleries were decorated during the reign of Frederick III (1648–1670) as can be seen from his arms.
The Chapel's most significant artifact is the organ, built by Esajas Compenius in 1610. It was installed by Compenius himself shortly before his death in Hillerød in 1617. The oldest organ in Denmark, it has 1,001 wooden pipes. Its original manually driven blower has been preserved. The instrument is richly decorated with ebony, ivory and silver.
The altarpiece and pulpit from the early 17th century are the work of the silversmith Jacob Mores from Hamburg. In the king's prayer chamber adjoining the Chapel, there is a small silver altar crafted by the goldsmith Matthäus Wallbaum from Augsburg in 1600.
