Dronningens Bøge Pier, Esrum Lake
Highlight • Lake
Probably the avenue has originally continued all the way to the present Gillelejevej. Only a few of these beech stands back along the road, which is today called Frederik IV allé. If the line is extended to the east above the lake, it continues in the baroque hall, which extends from the lake bank up to Fredensborg Castle. It was Frederik IV who was responsible for the construction of Fredensborg Castle and to leave the avenue over the lake and into the forest on the other side. Only built in the early 1720s. King Frederik IV was married to Louise of Mecklenburg in 1695 on fatherly orders. When Queen Luise died in 1721, he married Anna Sophie Reventlow. This caused some fury at the court and it is said that for peace, they went on excursions along Esrum Lake. It is also said that it was her who had the idea of letting the avenue extend west of the lake. Thus, it should be her who has named the Queen's beech.
