History of Birkerød
Originally Birkerød consisted of eight individual villages (Birkerød, Kajerød, Bistrup, Ravnsnæs, Isterød, Høsterkøb, Sandbjerg and Ubberød) and did so until the 1940s when the construction of villa neighborhoods slowly erased the village borders and formed one town.
Despite being individual villages, they shared the same church, Birkerød Kirke (Birkerød church), since the 1100s. This made Birkerød the "capital" of the
parish and it was also here the railroad station,
Birkerød station, was constructed in 1868.
