King Frederik II and King Christian IV Castles
King Frederik II (King from 1559-1588 - ruled Denmark and Norway) acquired the castle estate called Hillerødsholm in 1550 and renamed it Frederiksborg Castle - to get the right to use the wide hunting fields in north Sealand and especially the woodlands around the town of Hillerød.
King Christian IV & Frederiksborg Castle
During The reign of King Frederik II - he restored the estate on the islets of the town lake - and used the premises as a Royal residence. At the same time King Frederik II was completing the building of Kronborg Castle that also was a Royal residence for the King and his family. At the former Frederiksborg Castle - his son the later King Christian IV is born (1577-1648 - ruled Denmark and Norway 1588-1648) - and throughout his childhood he had great affection for the old castle estate and birthplace. But despite the admiration for the historical buildings he decided in 1599 - to demolished the old estate and replaced it with one of the finest and biggest Renaissance castles ever seen in northern Europe - which took him more than 20 years to create and build. Both Kings were great castle builders during there period on the Danish throne - and had a grand influence on the architecture of the Royal buildings from this era.
