Frederiksborg Slotskirke

Danish church in Hillerød, a part of the royal castle Frederiksborg Slot. Frederiksborg Slotskirke is famed for its organ built by legendary organ constructor Esaias Compenius. It is the world's oldest organ still in its originality and completeness. It was built in 1610 and given to Danish king Christian IV. who had it placed in the church of his Hillerød castle in 1617 by Compenius himself. Allegedly Compenius died while in Hillerød. The organ has 1001 pipes, 27 voices and the decorations are in silver, ebony and ivory.
