Frederiksberg Park, Royal park in Frederiksberg Municipality, Denmark
Frederiksberg Park is a 64-hectare park in Frederiksberg Municipality, Denmark, featuring artificial lakes, walking paths, and multiple gardens surrounding an 18th-century Rococo palace. The grounds include varied planting areas and water features that frame the palace structures.
The gardens were established during the 1700s as part of the royal estate and shifted from formal Baroque patterns to English romantic landscape design. This transformation reflects changing tastes in garden aesthetics during the 18th century.
The Chinese Pavilion serves as a viewing point overlooking the gardens, reflecting the court's fascination with East Asian design. This structure remains one of the park's most distinctive visual elements and shows how 18th-century tastes shaped the landscape.
The park provides numerous benches, picnic tables, walking trails, and public restrooms throughout the grounds. Multiple public transportation stops nearby make planning a visit straightforward.
A network of small canals connects the central ponds and provides habitat for herons that nest in trees. Meanwhile, peacocks roam freely across the grounds, creating unexpected encounters throughout the park.
