Frederiksborg Castle
Sightseeing in Frederiksborg picture - The history of Frederiksborg Castle really began in the 16th. century. In 1560 King Frederik II took over the manor "Hillerødsholm", and turned it into a hunting seat. This stimulated the growth of the neighbouring village of Hillerød, not least when King Christian IV in 1599 began the construction of Frederiksborg Castle. The castle - now in Dutch renaissance style - was finished in 1615.
