[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The oldest parts of the palace date back to 1560, and were built by King Frederick II, after whom the palace is named.
Most of the current palace, however, was built from 1602 to 1620 by Christian IV using Dutch architects, Hans and Lorents van Steenwinckel, and follows the Dutch style favoured by Christian IV for his new buildings in Copenhagen.
After Christian IV's death in 1648, the palace was used mainly for ceremonial events, primarily the anointing and crowning of the Absolute Monarchs in the palace church. Since 1693 the church has also been used as Knight's Chapel for the Order of the Elephant and the Order of the Dannebrog.
The palace was also used to house the royal family's art collection; as a result, it came to be regarded as a national monument.
In 1720, the Treaty of Frederiksborg was signed here.
In 1850s, the palace was again used as a residence by King Frederick VII. During the night of December 16-17, 1859, while he was in residence, a fire destroyed a large part of the main palace's interior. Reconstruction was funded by public subscription, with large contributions from the King, state and the prominent philanthropist J. C. Jacobsen of Carlsberg Brewery, who also provided funds to establish The Museum of National Historythat now occupies Frederiksborg.
Prince Joachim and Princess Alexandra were married in the Palace Church.
The church, also known as the Chapel of Orders, serves as a local church today, and is a part of the museum on the premises. The coats-of-arms of recipients of the country's royal orders, the Order of the Elephant and the Order of the Dannebrog, are displayed on the walls of the church.
The museum houses the country's most important collection of portraits and history paintings.

Hello George,
You capture the castle well!
Personally I feel there are many elements in this image, maybe too many for my simple taste but I know many like a lot of details...
However I see your point in including the statue of the King AND his castle!
Great natural colours and a sharp tech wise great shot!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Very nice view of the palace, with a clear point of view thanks to the lake or pond in fornt. I like the green roofs very much. Excellent sharpness again.

All the best,

Emmanuel

A different view related to previous posts. I like the inclusion of the pier. Good atmosphere all around.
Cheers

Another great photo George. I like the mood here, with the people at this nice place. Each person was in right momment at the right place. I think a crop of the left side where it the statue, resulting in a photo with the man in black in the left side will gave a nice shot too.
But Ilike this statue, the king was a very fat guy! :D

Pretty colors
