Fredensborg Castle

Fredensborg Palace, a perfect example of baroque architecture, was constructed in the 18th century as a retreat and recreational haven for the Danish royal family. Originally utilized by King Frederick IV during the hunting season, it now stands as the summer residence for Queen Margrethe II.

Fredensborg Castle is a residence and a prestigious venue where the royal family receives distinguished guests, including nobility and heads of state. It serves as the backdrop for significant events such as birthdays, weddings, and other important occasions for the crown. Members of the Royal Guard safeguard the palace entrance daily.

Throughout the rest of the year, the royal family resides at the Amalienborg Palace in the heart of Copenhagen.

Castle Gardens

The gardens at Fredensborg Castle are some of Denmark's oldest and biggest gardens. Designed in line with the castle's Baroque style, the gardens are shaped by wide paths full of trees that create a star-shaped structure.

The castle's most beautiful space is, without a doubt, its Baroque gardens, which are conveniently open to the public during any visit.
