Frederiksberg Have is a labour of H.G.H. Scheel and J.C. Krieger in the early seventeenth century, around Frederiksberg Slot castle. The idea of creating this garden was Frederik IV's, inspired by his trips to Italy. The style is Baroque, with strict axes of symmetry. Times changed, in the eighteenth century and so did ideals. Romanticism was prime time, what with English country gardens considered the epitome of perfection. Such tendencies corrupted the strict Baroque style of Frederiksberg. The garden ponds were connected by a network of canals twisted into a maze. Today you see grottoes with wells, a Chinese pavilion, temples, the Norwegian House and the fountain right in front of Frederiksberg Slot. A rich variety of bird-life, all exotic visitors from the Zoo nearby. In spring and summer, admire the flowerbeds in full bloom. The park is open from 6a till sunset.
