Park of Frederiksborg Castle

An enclosed deer park for hunting was established at the same time as Christian IV's new Frederiksborg Castle.

The Castle Lake featured a small island, Dronningeøen ("The Queen's Isle"), which was used for tea parties, as well as a fountain designed as a swimming deer chased by hunting dogs.

[2] Another feature was the pavilion Sparepenge next to the road to Fredensborg, which contained a collection of weapons.

It was inaugurated on 15 August 1884 to mark the 100th anniversary of the agricultural reforms in which he played a central role.

The building Badstueslottet is still used by the royal family in connection with hunts in the surrounding forests.
