The best castle in Denmark? Frederiksborg Slot in Hillerød!!

[@kimmo.3400]

Living in Hillerød - and as a neighbor to Frederiksborg Slot - I thank you for a great presentation of "our" wonderful castle ❤👍

[@TravelinYoung]

Awesome, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! We love the place :)

[@AndersGetherSoerensen]

Thank you for showing more of Denmark than the vast majority of citizens from the USA get to see. Those who come by cruise ship are only in Copenhagen for a few hours. Almost insulting to all that Copenhagen has to offer. And then comes the rest of the country. So thank you for liking and living here and for being open to the things that Denmark has to offer.

[@TravelinYoung]

You are welcome! Thank you for having such a beautiful country to explore. There are so many wonderful things to see and do. One reason we started this on KZbin was to encourage us to get out and see even more. Doing this has helped us appreciate everything even more than before. Such a great country.

[@AndersGetherSoerensen]

@@TravelinYoung If I may suggest you a place then go to Faneford Church. There are some very beautiful frescoes inside. The church is right next to the sea. The place was a former trading post and it was a natural harbor where the ships were sheltered from wind and weather. This natural harbor was a gathering place the times one went down for and beat the Venders militarily and plunder the villages. And when you are now on Møn, go to the small island Nyord where there is an intact village as villages looked in the really old days. In the town of Stege there is a town gate as there was in all Danish towns. It is succeeding and preserving this. In Stege I can recommend and eat at "Slagter Stig" www.google.dk/maps/place/Slagter+Stig/@54.9873039,12.2880738,16z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4652d621371ae625:0xfa0ecc7e46a8ea2e!8m2!3d54.9858078!4d12

[@TravelinYoung]

All of this sounds amazing! I will definitely plan a trip down there. I haven't been to Møn Klint yet, but you've laid out what sounds like a perfect day or two. Thanks!

[@poulmadsen7969]

I like the way Miranda explains about the castle - she sounds like she has studied and learned her lesson, so it comes out fluent, competent and with no hick-ups. Well done. Oh, I love the the hick-up - the finishing line - at the end of the Strøget video... ha ha!

[@astridross2989]

I stumbled over your channel a few days ago, so decided to check out the videos from the beginning. I used to live in Hillerød, for 4 years while I was studying, and I couldn't agree more. I absolutely love Frederiksborg and the garden. I would pack a picnic and eat lunch there in the weekends. This video brings back some nice memories. Thank you :)

I was a gardener at the Baroque Gardens in 2013 - one thing I remember is puting out the massive pots with a ruler - it had to be precise to fit with the aura and design. In a baroque garden nothing is left to chance and everything is tightly manicured :)

[@samierher]

You should visit Aalholm slot in Nysted, Lolland. It's one of the best kept castles compared to its age (it's 1000 years old). The castle itself is closed for public visitors, but the garden is open for visitors and it's extremely beautiful, with a bunch of deers and pheasants running around everywhere!

[@TravelinYoung]

Yes! We went to Lolland and stayed in Nysted before we had the channel. We walked around and as close to the castle as we could. It is a pretty area :). We do need to go back now that we are documenting our adventures on KZbin.

[@The_Wanderer_And_His_Shadow]

Is there a possibility to open it for visitors in the future? I saw pictures and it's amazing inside.

[@kirstenmadsen2628]

Funny, my American husband loves that place too. Our first date, he wanted to take me there 😀

[@Limmosee]

I wanted to see this for so long, and finally I got to see it in August, and it was amazing, also the exhibition Mary & The Crown Princesses made in connection with Our Crown Princess 50th anniversary

[@malloryberthome4883]

My sister got married facing this castle last month, it is indeed a beautiful castle ! We haven't visited it yet though but now that you referred to it as the Danish' Versaille, you tickled my french curiosity and we have to visit it :P I also need an escape chair like that (which would lead to my wine cellar), what a great idea !

[@TravelinYoung]

You must go, we often go to just walk around the gardens. It is such a special place to visit.

[@fluefeber1533]

It’s just awesome to see how much you love this castle, I was born and raised in Hillerød and lived with it just being there not thinking about how amazing it actually is:) Maybe I should take a tour inside this summer. Nice content you guys 🤗🇩🇰 +sub

[@TravelinYoung]

It is a treasure. We've been hooked since we first arrived. Absolutely love it there.

[@klauslehrmann3906]

Greetings from a dane living in Hillerød. I a couple of days back was searching through videos about DK, and stumbled upon one of yours, and watched on. I was thinking, that if you live in KBH, you might have interest in visiting Hillerød, for any reason. I figured, since I always take pride in whenever the world around has any least interest in DK, I would have interest in showing you around, if that was one day an option. Then I found this, and thought "ding it!". Oh well. I appreciate you all three liking it. I have been inside the castle, and the huge portrait at 5:33, a guard in there told me about. It was painted by someone whos name I don't recall, sometime in the 1800's. The guard told me the artist included himself and his wife in the left window, and that the artist must have simply not known better, considering the inaccuracies, of the men wearing english bowlerhats, and them also havin shoelacers, which did apparently not exist back then. I reckon they tied footwear using buckling. I took some pictures in there, to also show my american double a preview of the interior-contents. He has emailed me before that they would like to visit DK sometime, which did surprise me. I found my double on the photographygame-app., named GuruShots. I commented on one of his pictures that it was too good that he on his profile-picture looked like me. he replied with calling me, "my brother from another mother" and that he liked my sense of humor. Mayhaps if you sometime plan on revisiting Hillerød, you would have interest in a meet and greet with a dane appreciative of outsiders liking DK. I also watched you video where you speak danish. Good on y'all, even though there is a very typical difference in the positioning of words, you did do very english/american. mayhaps i can aid you in learning some details. Here you have a couple of videos by Rick Stevens: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5fWiWiLhKh6oas kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHO3Zpevl7J-r9k And of course, this old classic. An old Norwegian commedy-thing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qV7QgKxui7p4eM0 This one I also watched long ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKLKg3ZrqMt2l7M I recently found and watched this one... "I Walked Though Denmark as a Viking (370 miles)": kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqiTmJ2wn9yAeJI I hope you will like these :). Best of regards Klaus Lehrmann

[@SheikAbdulAzizBinBaz]

While personally i wouldn’t say Hillerød city in itself is anything special, as you have all these other villages like: Dragør, Sønderho, Stege, Ribe, and many more, Frederiksborg is definitely worth a visit. It has the amazing and famous baroque gardens, with the incredible renaissance architecture. It was built to impress the other dukes and princes which was a huge thing back then, so also kind of unique since it’s the first in Denmark to be built for that purpose.

[@TheLizzerazu]

Near the castle is a forest called Store dyrehave. Its a Parcefor hunting forest. Its on the Unesco world heritage list. Fredensborg castle and Frederiksborg castle was used by the king for hunting trips in the nearby forests. Store dyrehave is a great place to take some long walks. And lots of people bring their dogs with them. Its a bit further away from the station, but the bus 375 from Hillerød station stops really close by. Worth a visit or 2. Its so much differet from Dyrehaven where Bakken is.

[@annegrethenilsson1959]

Fantastic..💖💖🇩🇰🇧🇻

[@jespermayland571]

I love Frederiksborg slot!! 🙌🙌 (Josh, it's a ship, not a boat!! 😅)

[@MrHenry84]

Rosenborg Palace is also interesting, and if you coordinate it you can catch The Royal Guard leaving the Rosenborg Palace when they march to Amalienborg Palace.

[@TravelinYoung]

Absolutely! We plan to go in nicer weather so we can also highlight the wonderful Kings garden when it is active in the summer.

[@killersmaideniron]

I actually have a good friend who lives on the castle grounds of this castle :D it's an amazing lake, spent my new years there.

[@MyndeN]

My Home town... and as a family (With 3 small kids) we use gardens and the small forest around it, several times each month for small adventures and trips! The small café (“havehuset”) in the top of the barok garden is a small gem in the summer time - it is driven by handicapped (dont know the Correct Word for their conditions).

[@TravelinYoung]

It is one of my favorite places. I haven't explored the full gardens but need to this summer with our dog Bristket.

[@katjaolsen1017]

Great video! If you haven't already, you should go to Bornholm and see Hammershus Castle ruins as well as the incredible nature that can't really be found anywhere else in Denmark :) Wish you the best here in Denmark.

[@TravelinYoung]

Thanks! Bornholm is fantastic! We visited in the summer of 2019, but I do want to go back. We had a very nice and relaxing long weekend. It was before I was taking video though, so very little proof of our trip :). More reason to return.

[@katjaolsen1017]

@@TravelinYoung Good to hear! Yes, true, that would be a great "excuse" to return ;) Have a good day!

[@User-ln3wk]

Wow!

[@TravelinYoung]

It is a spectacular place to visit. Denmark has so much to offer!

[@citizenVader]

When you run out of castles to visit in Denmark, consider visiting the castles in southern Sweden. They were Danish for a long time too. They were sadly lost during some of the wars with Sweden.

[@TravelinYoung]

Nice, we will for sure!

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

5:56 I was fascinated by this piece of furniture as a child. I grew up in Hundested, which means that Hillerød was the nearest city. We went to the castle about once a year.

[@TravelinYoung]

It is such a cool place. Maya goes to efterskole near Hundested now, nice area!

[@uzurpon]

Well to get to Hillerød from Hundested you pretty much have to go through Frederiksværk which therefor is way closer.

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

@@uzurpon But not what I would call a city.

[@uzurpon]

@@klausolekristiansen2960 Then what would you call it ?

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

@@uzurpon A town.

[@FlyingEriksen]

I recommend Fredensborg Castle just 15 min. by train from Frederiksborg Castle. Best time to visit is in the summer when the Queen's private gardens are open for the public. A great park, with lots of twisty quirky paths and grand avenues.

[@TravelinYoung]

Yes!! We saw it from the outside once and noticed you can visit in July. We plan to do it this summer!

[@uzurpon]

@@TravelinYoung I actually live in the town of Fredensborg. It is next to the 2nd biggest lake in Denmark "Esrum Sø". Fredensborg Castle is the Queen's summer resident. For the time being the crown-prince Frederik and Princess Mary lives there.

[@zoolook666]

J. C. Jacobsen (Carlsberg) did not only turned it into a museum. The castle actually burned down in 1859 and was rebuilt with support from Jacobsen. The church was unharmed. The reconstruction took 14 years so the financial support from Jacobseni (and later Carlsberg Foundation) was one of its kind.

[@peterlarsen7779]

I'm ashamed to admit, but I've never been... However, after watching your informative clips, I can see I should definately go. This will be a good place to see when my girlfriend Nanette comes over from New Hampshire when the pandemic is over. Thanks very much for the share! 👍

[@larskaminskidk]

You should try to visit the area between Carlsberg station and Valbby Station. (Bjerregårdsvej, Søndermarksvej, Antoinettevej, Skovbogårdsvej. There is an incredibly beautiful area with lots of unique houses

[@LBrendstrup]

Thank you for the videos. Being a dane it is interesting to find out what you, ass foreigners find beautiful or nice about Denmark.

[@elgecske]

Vi also visited the castle once and plan to return after the bug, fantastic place !

[@akyhne]

Inside he castle, there's a "carpet" on a Wall, made by our queen. I think it shows what has influenced Denmark in the last century. One of the motives is a Disney one. I believe it's Donald Duck or something. I haven't actually seen it myself, as I've never been to the castle.

[@Totaldane]

I hope you get a chance to got to Roskilde - a short train ride west of Copenhagen and do the viking ship museum and the Roskilde Cathedral.

[@TravelinYoung]

Yep, we love it there. We plan to shoot a video from Roskilde when the weather is nicer and restrictions are lifted. Such a cool place!

[@stentolstrup5561]

i know that you like castles. so next time you come to Jylland and århus you should see marselis borg slot. the royle familys sommerhouse and then drive around 30 km away from århus and visit Rosenholm slot and Clausholm slot. they are close to each other. on the way to those castles you also go to this address Grenåvej 793a, 8541 skødstrup and see the only mill in denmark with 6 wings and it is 1 of the biggest in north europe

It IS the best castle in Denmark. When I visited there, there was a room with paintings by Carl Bloch, perhaps the most famous Danish painter. Are they still there? It was very moving to see the originals.
