Mølleåen

Mølleåen, also Mølleå, sometimes translated as the Millstream, is a small river in North Zealand, Denmark, which runs 36 kilometres (22 mi) from the west of Bastrup Sø near Lynge to the Øresund between Taarbæk and Skodsborg.

Thereafter, for a period it becomes "Fiskebæk Å", passing under the Hillerød motorenway (E16) and Frederiksborgsvej before reaching Denmark's deepest lake, Furesø, with a depth of 38 metres (125 ft).

The river winds through the gardens of Sorgenfri Palace to Fuglevad water mill which later became part of the Brede Copper Works.

[4] The principal landmarks along the river valley consist of exclusive country houses and palaces and of water mills which developed into factories.

[6] Frederiksdal House at the south end of Furesø is a white Rococo mansion designed by Nicolai Eigtved and Johann Gottfried Rosenberg in the mid-18th century.

[7] The open-air museum Frilandsmuseet in Lyngby consists of a collection of old houses, farms and mills which have been moved to the site to show how people lived in former times.

Sophienholm between the river to the north and Lake Bagsværd to the south dates from 1768 but was completely rebuilt by the affluent businessman Constantin Brun in 1805.

[8] Owned by the Danish royal family, Sorgenfri Palace was built by the French architect François Dieussart in 1706.
