Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a royal castle 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, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). 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.

I keep telling myself I should look at post processing to see if it improves some of my photos, but I'm not technically minded. I took a photo that I have previously uploaded and pressed a few buttons ... and personally I think this is better, but I have no idea what I've done!

The Baroque Garden is not the Castle’s only garden. To the left of the Baroque Garden is the romantic, English-style garden, where the small Bath House Castle is also located. With its small lakes and shrubberies the Romantic Garden was created to convey moods and present the beauty of nature.

 

A landscape garden with meandering paths, canals and lakes was laid out by Frederik VII (1848-63) in the Indelukket enclosure and Lille Dyrehave woods around the Badstueslottet castle, built by Frederik II.

 

On a small island in the Ødam pond, the king built a miniature version of a Norwegian manor, and this became a favourite place for the royal couple.

 

By contrast, the straight lines and sharp angles of the Baroque Garden display the beauty implicit in mankind’s control of nature.
