Jægerspris Castle, Baroque castle and museum in Frederikssund Municipality, Denmark.
Jægerspris Castle is a three-winged baroque structure in Frederikssund with a north wing dating from medieval times. The complex sits within extensive forests and walking paths that surround the property.
The castle was originally called Abrahamstrup and changed ownership in 1673 before Prince Charles of Denmark purchased it in 1679. Renovation work continued until 1722, establishing the structure seen today.
The castle park displays sculptures created by artist Johannes Wiedewelt that honor Danish and Norwegian figures from history. Visitors walking through the grounds encounter these monuments arranged throughout the grounds, reflecting the artistic traditions of the period.
The castle is accessible by S-train from Copenhagen to Frederikssund, followed by a local bus to the grounds. Walking paths throughout the forest surrounding the estate make it easy to explore the property on foot.
The interior design from the 1850s remains intact with furnishings arranged exactly as they were during Frederik VII and Countess Danner's time. This preserved arrangement offers a glimpse into how the royal residents lived in that era.
