This morning I hopped on the S-tog and took a 40 minute ride to Hillerød, home of Frederiksborg Slot. The castle sprawls over three islands surrounded by a well-groomed artificial lake. An impressive garden extends up the hill, providing photogenic framed views. The structure has been around since medieval times, but at the start of the 17th century Christian IV rebuilt it as we see it today using a 'Dutch Renaissance' architectural style. Denmark's finest castle, no doubt about it.
