Birkerød

Birkerød is a town in northern Zealand, Denmark. It is part of Allerød Municipality in the Capital Region (Hovedstaden) and lies approximately 25 kilometers north of central Copenhagen. The town sits in the Copenhagen metropolitan area and is characterized by a mix of suburban housing, retail services, and green spaces, with nearby forests and lakes.

Historically, Birkerød developed from a rural parish into a suburban community in the 20th century, expanding as Copenhagen’s suburbs grew. It was the administrative center of the former Birkerød Municipality until the municipal reform of 2007, after which it became part of Allerød Municipality.

Birkerød is served by local schools, libraries, and sports facilities, and it has a range of shops and services for residents. The town is connected to Copenhagen and to surrounding towns by road and rail, reflecting its role as a commuter town. Public transport and road networks provide access to the greater Zealand region.
