Frederiksborg Castle Church, Royal chapel in Frederiksborg Palace, Denmark
The church features an ornate altar made of gold, silver, and ebony, created by Hamburg goldsmith Jacob Mores in 1606.
Following the introduction of absolute monarchy in 1660, Danish kings received their anointment ceremonies in this chapel until the end of absolutist rule.
The chapel walls display coats of arms belonging to Knights of the Order of the Elephant, including Nelson Mandela and Niels Bohr.
Visitors can attend free organ recitals every Thursday at 13:30 on the Compenius organ, constructed in 1610.
The chapel remained intact during the devastating fire of 1859, preserving its original 17th-century decorations while most of the castle burned.
