The Danish Kings lived in Frederiksborg Castle for about a century and the absolute monarchs were crowned in the palace chapel from 1671. Since 1693, Christian IV's palace chapel has also served as the knight's chapel for the Order of the Elephant and the Knights of the Dannebrog and is also used as a parish church at the moment. The church also houses the old organ from 1610 built by Esajas Compenius.

Frederiksborg Palace chapel served as the beautiful backdrop for the wedding of Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra in November 1995.


Frederiksborg Castle is located in the middle of Hillerřd on three islands in the castle lake. The oldest parts of the castle were built in 1560 by King Frederik II and the castle is named after him.

The majority of the present castle was built between 1600-1620 by Frederik II's son, Christian IV in Dutch Renaissance style with sweeping gables, sandstone decorations and copper-covered roofs and spires. The castle burnt in 1859 but was rebuilt from 1860-84 with financial support from brewer J. C. Jacobsen and later by the Carlsberg Foundation.

The part of the castle with the two low round towers on the southernmost island beside the S-bridge that connects the first and middle islets were part of Frederik II's original Frederiksborg as were the small Bath House between The Enclosure and the small Deer Park.

The National History Museum has been housed in the castle since 1878. The museum was founded by brewer J. C. Jacobsen as a special department of the Carlsberg Foundation. As well as magnificent rooms and spaces like the palace chapel, the Rose, the Audience Chamber and the Great Hall, the museum contains the country's most important collection of portraits and historical paintings.

Hi George,
Wonderful light, colours and detail.Excellent sharpness and composition,this place looks amazing,
Georg

Hello George,
A magnificent view of the beautiful interior of this chapel. Perspective is on the whole well controlled; whilst the colours and clarity are superb. The people on the balcony at the far end are not over obtrusive and add a touch of vitality as well providing an idea of the scale of the room.

Hello George.
This is a very fine arhcitectural interior shot, free of distortion and without much noise. The natural light is well used to get a very good exposure. I like the inclusion of the people, as they help to give a good idea of the scale of the building. Good perspective from your viewpoint, showing us this magnificent chapel.
Regards,
Andrew

George, what a magical looking place. The detail in this construction is beyond my comprehension I think, especially after the simple architecture of colonial Amreica. Your shot and the ws are awesome and the area is so huge that I imagine lighting was an issue, which of corse you handled well. Great capture.

Hi George,
Second floor viewpoint gives excellent angle for that line of pillars and light coming through windows. Very richly detailed with golden colours. That angel figure is well placed on the bottom of frame.

Szia George,
complex light situation with the golden ceiling, the darker red chairs and the light from the left well managed to let us see all parts of the inner church. I like the good light impression.

Hallo George!
Here you show us a nearly breathtaking architecture. You managed the difficult light here very well und the small angel in the foregroud adds a lot of interest to the composition. The pespective here really is great - as the note is.

Hello Mr. Rumpler,
This chapel is very beautiful with its Baroque ornamentation, and your high POV from the second level is great. I like the symmetric presentation of the huge saloon and your vertical cadrage that lets all the height in. This time the angel is a great detail. Excellent note as well.
Cheers,
Deniz

very good pov emphasizing the grandeur of the place...i like the way you placed the statue in the middle of the fg. very well-done.

Szia Gyuri!
Ez a nagylátószög nyűgeivel együtt is nagyon szép. Meggyőzően grandiózus és káprázatos, az előtér szerény angyala pedig némi bájt is kölcsönöz a képnek.
Üdv
