Frederiksborg Latin School (Danish: Frederiksberg Latinskole) is a former latin school in Hillerød, Denmark. Its former building at Søndre Jernbanevej 4A-F is listed.

History

The school as it appeared from 1631 to 1706

The first latin school in Hillerød opened in 1566 but it closed again in 1586. A new school was established in connection with the completion of Frederiksborg Castle on 29 March 1630 but the school building was not completed until 1633. It was called Frederiksborg Lærde Skole.

The school was destroyed in a fire in 1834 but a new building was inaugurated in 1836. The new building was built to design by Jørgen Hansen Koch.[1]

The school changed its name to Frederiksborg Statsskole in 1903. It was also opened to female students and boys from the working class.[2]

The building in Søndre Jernbanegade was decommissioned when the school moved to new premises in 1858. The owner of the old building went bankrupt in May 2015. It was sold to a new owner in 2017.

Today

The building is today rented oyut to eight tenants: Nykredit Realkredit, Orbicon, TeamAktiv, Jacob Sundberg, Nykredit Mægler (Nybolig Erhverv), LOFØresund, Harmonia Corpus and Mpeople.
