The castle in Nyborg was built around 1170 as a royal castle to protect the Danish kingdom against the Wends. The large square powder tower was probably built by Knud, the nephew of King Valdemar the Store. The castle was expanded several times in the following centuries as a defensive bastion.
The castle will not be accessible until 2020, but will open its doors again to visitors in a new splendor and revitalized.
