History
Annaborg

The building was constructed in 1782-83 by county manager (amtsforvalter) Frederik Christian Brammer who named it Annaborg after his wife Anna. The building seen today is the former main wing of a four-winged complex. The long, low half-timbered south wing contained the county office, The two shorther east and west wings contained horse stables and storage space for firewood as well as a barn used for the grain peasants paid as a Tithe.[1][2]

The building has later been used as residence for Frederiksborg County's CFO. The new Frederiksborg County Headqyarters was completed in 1939 and is now home to Hillerød Sognegård.[3]


During World War II, it was confiscated by the German occupying forces. In 1947, architect Carl Lundquist was charged with converting the building into office space.

The building is today owned by Hillerød Municipality and rented out to Hillerød Kunstforening.

Today

The building is now operated by Hillerød Art Society as an exhibition centre.
