Why Frederiksborg Castle matters
Frederiksborg rises straight out of a lake, a palace of red brick and sandstone built on three small islets. Reached by a short train ride from Copenhagen, it was a royal residence in the 17th century and today houses Denmark's Museum of National History, with portraits and rooms covering centuries of Danish life. The gardens behind are laid out in a formal baroque style.
Talking points
