About Park of Frederiksborg Castle

The park of Frederiksborg Castle is located to the north and west of Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerod, Denmark. It consists of a formal Baroque garden and a Romantic landscape garden. An enclosed deer park for hunting was established at the same time as Christian IV's new Frederiksborg Castle. It became known as Lille Dyrehave Little Deer Park when Store Dyrehave was created immediately to the south of the town a few years later. He also had a garden at the North Zealand residence.

The Castle Lake featured a small island, Dronningeøen which was used for tea parties, as well as a fountain designed as a swimming deer chased by hunting dogs. Another feature was the pavilion Sparepenge next to the road to Fredensborg, which contained a collection of weapons. Sparepenge was pulled down in 1719, while the fountain was dismantled in the middle of the century. The Baroque garden was recreated in a somewhat modified form in the first half of the 1990s. A water feature cascades down the central axis of the terraced complex.
