#Overseas travel
A Renaissance castle that preserves the glory of the Danish royal family
**Hillerød** is a small city located about 30km north of Copenhagen,
but it is home to a beautiful castle called “Denmark’s Versailles”—**Frederiksborg Slot**.
A castle that is more like a palace than a palace, Frederiksborg
This castle, which began construction in 1560 and was completed in the early 17th century under the orders of King Christian IV,
is considered the pinnacle of Northern European Renaissance architecture.
With over 60 magnificent rooms, gilded ceilings, large tapestries,
royal portraits, and antique furniture, each room is filled with them—
it feels like you’re traveling through time with every step you take.
In particular, the grand ballroom and chapel where the royal coronation took place,
and the nobles’ rooms that catch your eye with their splendid decorations are a must-see.
500 Years of Danish History—National Museum of History
Since 1878, it has been operating as the National Museum of Danish History,
and was founded by J.C. Jacobsen, the founder of Kasberg beer.
It houses the largest collection of royal portraits in Denmark,
and is continuously collecting new works.
As you walk through the castle, you feel as if 500 years of Danish history are unfolding before your eyes!
It is like a living history textbook encompassing politics, art, and culture.
A must-see—Baroque Garden
Next to the castle is a delicately landscaped French-style Baroque garden.
The castle, which seems to float on a pond, is a perfect photo spot.
A quiet and peaceful stroll through the garden makes you feel like you are walking through a fairytale kingdom.
