==History== Hørsholm was the site of the infamous [[Hirschholm Palace]], which served as the summer retreat for King [[Christian VII of Denmark|Christian VII]] and his court in 1771, when his consort, Queen [[Caroline Matilda of Great Britain|Caroline Matilda]], gave birth to her child by [[Johann Friedrich Struensee]], Princess [[Louise Augusta of Denmark|Louise Augusta]]. The castle, referred to as the "Versailles of the North", was neglected after that fateful year and torn down by [[Frederick VI of Denmark|Frederick VI]], the King's son, in order to provide building materials for [[Christiansborg Palace]], which had burned down in 1794. Hørsholm Church, built in 1832 and designed by [[Christian Frederik Hansen]], is now found on the spot where the castle once stood. Local museum ''Hørsholm Egns Museum'' ("Hørsholm Local Museum") has a display dedicated to the palace and its fate. <!-- ==Attractions== -->
