📍 Frederiksberg Castle
Frederick's Castle was built in 1560. King Frederick II of Denmark was happy to fight the empress, so he exchanged a forest monastery with the original owner of the manor. Since then, the castle has been governed and remodeled by four generations of kings, and finally became the National Museum of History in 1878 for the public to visit. For the public to have a better experience, lockers and voice guide rental services are provided at the entrance. Since most of the exhibits in the castle are not presented in English, I suggest everyone rent them.

At first, we were attracted to the exquisite decoration of one of the rooms in the castle. As we later discovered, there were actually too many spectacular decoration designs in the castle! After passing through several wooden gates, we arrived at Castle Chapel, a chapel inside the castle. It just so happened that there were performers practicing piano and flute in the front, making the whole atmosphere even more noble. There are paintings of historical religious stories in the hallways on both sides. Unfortunately, there is no material for the paintings, so I can't understand the story behind them.
Afterwards, after seeing the history of the previous kings in this castle, we saw a pure white corridor. There were a few sculptures in the hallway, and there were no fences or glass, so we could see every detail of the sculpture up close. After passing through the white corridor, what you see is this pure white room Audience Chamber. There are several paintings hanging above the room, and portraits are also hanging on the wall, recording people who have been here before.
The castle is bigger than we thought, and most of the rooms are open to the public, and every piece has preserved the furniture and decorations from that time. Since there are no additional lights in the rooms in the castle, the castle closes at 3 o'clock to prevent people from being able to see the full picture of the inside of the castle after sunset.
After passing through numerous rooms, we finally reached the most spectacular room in the entire castle - the Great Hall. The entire lobby is presented in a long shape, and several windows make the whole room look brighter. Portraits of various Dutch historical figures hang on the wall of the hall, and their names are recorded below the paintings. Other than that, the hanging lamp in the center of the hall was decorated throughout the room, with the exquisite carvings above the hall, which really made people linger!
In addition to some of the most famous rooms, this pink corridor is also filled with girls' hearts. In fact, with the exception of this hallway, several rooms on the side use different colors as the main color, showing a different feeling.
From inside the castle, you can see the opposite landscaped garden, showing the beauty of the garden with symmetrical gardening. Even though I arrived at the garden, I didn't see anything beautiful from above the castle. Furthermore, here you can see the full picture of Frederick Castle across the artificial lake, as a summary of today's itinerary. Although it is relatively far from downtown Copenhagen, there really aren't many European castles that can be compared to the exquisite interior of the castle. Therefore, it is well worth reserving a day to visit here.
