Hillerød is one of North Zealand's “villages in wood”, together with Lillerød and Birkerød, all established by forest clearance in the Medieval. Hillerød is located some 30 km north of Copenhagen and was (or still is?) seat of Frederiksborg Amt.

administrative centre of the Capital Region.

maybe exactly because each of them could have a claim to such a title.
