History
Asminderød has traditionally had Grønholt parish as an annex. Then Fredensborg Slots Chapel was added in 1726. The priest's farmhouse burned in 1793. However, Asminderød's parish records still begin as early as 1685, Grønholt has reccords from 1707 onwards, and Fredensborg has records from 1733 onwards.

In 1711, Asminderød was struck by the bubonic plague. The Last Plague in the Baltic Region 1709-1713 part IV chapter 8 is entirely dedicated to how the plague affected Asminderød parish specifically. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has a copy of this book. The call number is 940 H2fk.
