The royal apartments are located on the first floor of the north wing. The apartments were originally furnished by [[Frederick II of Denmark and Norway|Frederick II]] around 1576, but after the fire in 1629, Christian IV had the apartments refurnished and richly decorated with ceiling [[painting]]s, stone [[portal (architecture)|portal]]s and [[chimneypiece]]s. The original floors were [[tile]]d in black and white which were replaced with wooden [[floorboards]] in 1760–61, and the walls were clad in [[leather wallpaper|gilt-leather]]. Today the chambers are furnished with [[Netherlands|Netherlandish]] furniture from the 17th century.

The King's Chamber has a [[bay window]], located right above the castle's main portal, from which the king could keep an eye on guests arriving at the castle, whereas the Queen's Chamber has access to a vaulted tower chamber overlooking the Flag Bastion.
