Totally worth coming here from Copenhagen. Only about a 40 minute train ride and then a 20 minute walk from the station. The town of Hillerod was quite nice as well. The main attraction is definitely the church and the grand hall. The castle is quite big over multiple floors which are accessible by elevators. The walk from the town street to the main entrance is all cobblestone. The gardens are also quite nice but since it's fall none of the fountains are working so doesn't give the same feel but still nice to see. The little ferry from the garden to the town was also not in operation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Frederiksborg Castle. The exhibitions were fascinating, offering a deep dive into history. The chapel, with its stunning pipe organ, was a highlight. The Great Hall left us in awe with its massive size and intricate ceiling details. The castle’s beauty and historical significance make it a must-visit. Highly recommend for anyone interested in history and architecture!

Loved it here. It's so beautiful. The gardens are stunning. There's so many paintings to look at, there's not a square inch of any room which isn't either painted or covered in portraits. We nowhere near saw everything but just completely wore ourselves out.

This place was incredible and maintained very well. The ceilings and rooms were incredible. To live here back in the day. I asked about the chandeliers and if they were replaced with electric ones. I was told no. These are the original candle chandeliers that were wired for electric. Which is cool because they were amazing.

This is one of the most amazing beautiful Castles we have ever walked through! It is so big and magnificent that we thought we would never get through the whole castle in one day. They had so much art and furniture there was just too much to see. By for one of the best things to do when in Copenhagen it is just less than an hour train ride.
