Explore Denmark's most spectacular Renaissance castle on this self-guided audio tour around Frederiksborg's courtyards and baroque gardens. Built by ambitious King Christian IV in the 1620s as a pleasure palace, you'll hear stories of Swedish raiders, stuffed horses, and beer-funded reconstructions that bring its dramatic past to life. Wander from the medieval castle bridge through baroque gardens inspired by Versailles with annual replanting of 12,000 tulips in intricate geometric patterns, cross the unusual S-shaped bridge with its horse legend, and discover Neptune fountain where Christian IV depicted himself as the Greek god. This 30-minute walking tour ends beside peaceful Slotssøen lake.
