Jægerspris Slot
Jægerspris Slot, tidligere benævnt Abrahamstrup, fra 1677 Jægerspris. Gården nævnes i 1318 som kongsgård; senere blev den overdraget prins Carl 1703-29 og kronprins Christian 6. til 1730. Dronning Juliane Marie fik slottet i morgengave i 1752.
Jægerspris købtes 1854 af Frederik 7. og overgik ved hans død i 1863 til Grevinde Danner. Efter hendes død i 1874 blev den testamentarisk overgivet Kong Frederik Den Syvendes Stiftelse, oprettet "for hjælpeløse og forladte Pigebørn, især af Almuen".
Den nuværende hovedbygning er et trefløjet barokanlæg i to etager. Nordfløjens midterparti i 31/2 etage stammer fra det middelalderlige Abrahamstrup; forhøjelsen med gavlkvisten tilkom 1721-22, da også sydfløjen fra 1590-1600 og dens vesttårn forhøjedes, og østtårnet blev opført.
Østfløjen opførtes 1730-31, og 1745-46 opførtes nordfløjens forlængelse mod vest sammen med det ottekantede kuppelspir på gårdsiden. Slottet rummer mindestuer for Frederik 7. og grevinde Danner, børnehjem (for både piger og drenge), børnehjemsmuseum og udstillingsrum.
Nær slottet i have, hegn, skov og åben mark står kæmpehøjene Jættestuen og Julianehøj. Arveprins Frederik stod bag opstillingen 1777-89 af 54 mindestøtter i den nærliggende mindelund over fortjente danskere, udført af Johannes Wiedewelt. Mindelunden med stenstøtterne skulle fungere som "belærende" have, tilrettelagt som en oplysende vandring i dansk kulturarv.
Jægerspris Slot lagde 1966-2006 navn til Jægerspris Kommune.

Jægerspris Castle
Jægerspris Castle, formerly known as Abrahamstrup, from 1677 Jægerspris. It is mentioned back in 1318 as a "kongsgård", which is a residence, estate or farmland that has belonged/still belongs to the Scandinavian monarchs and royal families. It was later passed on to Prince Carl 1703-29 and hereditary prince Christian the 6th until 1730. Queen Juliane Marie recieved the castle as a morning gift in 1752.
Jægerspris was bought in 1854 by Frederik the 7th and was after his death passed on to Countess Danner in 1863. After her death in 1874 it was testamentary handed to King Frederik The Seventh Foundation, created "for helpless and abandoned girls, especially amongst the commoners".
The current main building is a three winged baroque facility in two stories. The north wings middlepart is 3½ stories tall and originates from the medieval Abrahamstrup; the increase with the gable twig was added in 1721-22, when the southern wing from 1590-1600 and its western tower was increased, and the eastern tower was built.
The eastern wing was built in 1730-31, and 1745-46 was the northern wing's extension connected to the 8-sided dome spiers on the yard side. The castle consists of memorial rooms for Frederik the 7th and Countess Danner, an orphanage (for both boys and girls), an orphanage museum and a show room.
Near the castle in the castle park and surrounding woods and fields are the burial mounds Jættestuen and Julianehøj to be found. Hereditary prince Frederik was the one behind the idea of placing 54 memorials in 1777-89. The memorials was placed in the nearby memorial park and the memorials were for Danes who deserved to be remembered - the memorials were made by Johannes Wiedewelt. The memorial park with the memorials should function as a "didactically" yard, made as a informative walk through Danish culture.
In 1966-2006, Jægerspris Castle named Jægerspris Municipality.
