1). Jaegersborg Deer Park

King Frederik III ruled Denmark from 1648-1670. According to his idea, this Jægersborg Deer Park was created in 1669. In 1670, King Frederik died suddenly, and the construction of the garden stopped midway. After that, the rulers who came to power finished its construction work.

At that time, the deer captured from different parts of the country with the support of the state were kept in this park. Spread over 11 square kilometers, this park has forest areas, lakes and small watercourses, so deer have got the opportunity to roam freely.

It has been recorded that approximately 2200 deer live in Jægersborg Deer Park. Among them, 1600 belong to the deer species Puran. The deer species disappeared from Denmark during the Ice Age. In the 13th century, the deer species was reintroduced to Denmark.

The construction of the palace was done according to the Baroque style of architecture. A large part of this palace was destroyed due to a severe fire in 1859. After that, the rulers of the time worked to recreate the palace. Today, the newly built palace can be seen here.
