Frederiksborg Slotskirke

Here's the next picture of Frederiksborg Slot in Hillerød, Frederikborgs Amt, this time inside, it shows you Slotskirken (the Chapel).
The castle itself can be seen in my first two picture: Frederikborgs Slot I and II.

Slotskirken was completed in 1617 and almost the whole Chapel survided the 1859-fire, so the original ornamentation is preserved. It is located in the west-wing of the castle. The Chapel is richly decorated with motives from the classical mythology as well as the bible. At the southern end stands the Compenius Organ from 1610.
In 1693 King Christian V converted the church into a Knight's Chapel for the two Danish orders: Elefantordenen (Order of the Elephant) and Dannebrogordenen (Order of the Dannebrog).
Every Thursday from 13.30h till 14.00h the church's organist plays for the castle's guest.

I hope you like this picture! Have a nice weekend!
