The chapel is one of the most well preserved parts of the castle that managed to escape the fire of 1859. The organ, built by Esajas Compenius in 1610, has some of the most beautiful artwork I have ever witnessed to date.

Frederiksborg castle was the royal residence and birthplace of Christian IV, King of Denmark, during the early 17th century. In 1859, the castle was rebuilt during a serious fire. Very little could be saved, since the first item that was attempted to be saved was the grand piano, which got stuck in the door.

Kronborg castle is a Renaissance castle on the northern tip of Zealand, a Danish island that lies at the sound between Denmark and Sweden called Øresund. With a history dating back to a stronghold in the 1420s, the castle was used as a coastal fortified command point for the Baltic sea. The castle is the setting of William Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, where it is known as "Elsinore".
