History
Blovstrød is a small town and parish in Allerød Municipality, North Zealand, located north of Copenhagen, Denmark. The town is situated on the east side of Lyngby Kongevej, approximately one kilometre east of Lillerød and Allerød station. Two new neighbourhoods, Ny Blovstrød and Teglværkskvarteret, are planned on the west side of Lyngby Kongevej.

The western part of the parish, with the town of Blovstrød, became part of Amllerød Municipality in the 1970 Danish Municipal Reform while the eastern part of the municipality became part of Hørsholm Municipality.

Blovstrød originally had Lillerød as an annex parish but this is not the case anymore. Blovstrød suffered a fire on 27 February 1674. However, the earliest available parish records are from 1705.
