Frederiksborg Slot


You might not think something this big would be hard to find, but we got quite lost looking for it. There was no "Giant Tourist Attraction This Way" sign from any of the highways ringing the town, so we had to wander around and around until we ran into it. Frederiksborg Slot was built from 1599-1622, and its has extremely ornate interiors.





This chapel has a rather different look from the village church we saw in the morning. The next three pictures give you a hint of what some of the rooms were like.








By the time we were done wandering the castle, it was time to eat, so we had lunch at the cafe that was there. The plate on the right has curried pickled herring, marinated pickled herrring, and plain 'ol pickled herring, served with very dense brown bread, capers, boiled egg, etc, and a package of something called "fedt" which was... nasty... with a mysterious taste that I couldn't quite place. The herring was quite tasty though. The plate on the left are chicken and asparagus tarts.
