About
The Annaborg House (a neoclassical property) was built in 1782/83 by county administrator F.C. Brammer, who named the house after his wife, Anna. The Hillerød Art Association has kept the name and has made the house the Annaborg Art House (Kunsthuset Annaborg) and has been running it as an art exhibition venue since 2014.
The Annaborg House is a beautiful old house with a long history and a wonderful location in connection with Frederiksborg Castle - the National History Museum.
Hillerød Art Association – Kunsthuset Annaborg, is looking forward to welcoming many visitors (free of charge) into our beautiful house and seeing the Japanese Danish Exhibition - 交・Krydsfelt.
