The castle chapel houses Denmark's oldest organ from 1610. From Frederiksborg, drive on to Helsingor, passing en route Fredensborg Palace, built in 1722, the spring and autumn residence of the Danish Queen. A brief photographic stop will be made here. Upon arrival in Helsingor you will visit the imposing Kronborg Castle, which was the setting of 'Hamlet', the dramatic masterpiece by William Shakespeare.
