Sightseeing

Only a 10-minute walk from the house, you'll find Fredensborg Palace, which is the regents most used residence. The beautiful 18th-century baroque palace was built as a hunting palace for Frederik IV and is today often the setting for large official state visits and family events in the royal family. The park is fantastic for walks on the various paths. During July the private garden is open for visitors. https://www.visitdenmark.com/denmark/explore/fredensborg-palace-gdk620835
