Todays sunday trip went to Fredensborg Palace, located on the eastern shore of Lake Esrum (Danish, Esrum Sø) in Fredensborg on the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in Denmark.

It is the Danish Royal Family’s spring and autumn residence, and is often the site of important state visits and events in the Royal Family. It is the most used of the Royal Family’s residences.

The Palace was build between 1720 and 1726 by the royal gardener Johan Conelius Krieger on the commission’s of the king, who took big part in the construction himself. The Palace are inspired by the french baroque.
