Marienlyst Castle, Royal castle in Helsingor, Denmark
The palatial residence stands north of Helsingor, featuring grand chandeliers, gilded ornaments, and decorative mirrors overlooking the Oresund strait.
Frederik II constructed the original castle in 1588 as a royal pavilion for Kronborg Castle, serving as a recreational venue for hunting and leisure.
The castle interior displays works from Denmark's royal court painters, stucco artists, sculptors, wood carvers, gilders, and stone masons.
The Helsingor Municipality Museums manage the castle, offering exhibitions of art and history with regular opening hours for visitors.
French architect Nicolas-Henri Jardin redesigned the castle between 1759 and 1764, incorporating symmetrical gardens with hedges, fountains, and mirror ponds.
