Frederiksborg Slot (Castle)

I think Don took this shot as we were walking to the castle. I think it's so beautiful.
Frederiksborg Castle was originally built in 1599, but was really only used by one king, Christian IV. After him, the castle was kind of neglected and it burned to the ground in the mid-1800's. It was rebuilt and the outside is exactly as it was originally. But they didn't have records of what the interior looked like, so the interior was done in the style of 1599, but it's not exactly like it was originally.
The castle is actually built on three small islands.
Front view. You'll probably be able to tell, as you look through our blogs, which pictures I took and which Don took. These are all Don's work!
