“Recreated Gods focuses on the many sculptures of gods located on the castle’s facade. Back in the early 17th century, King Christian IV had a series of impressive sandstone sculptures created, forming a gallery of gods. Through original sculptures, fragments, models, and the latest recarved sculptures, the exhibition tells the story of the gods, their significance for Frederiksborg, and follows the recarving process.
