Castle Hill and Castle Church of Skanderborg

Castle Church is a remnant of the former Skanderborg Castle, which was finally demolished in 1770.

In 1562-63 King Frederik II converted the medieval castle on Slotsholmen into a modern fortress. Due to the kingdom's financial problems, the king decided to settle in Skanderborg. Therefore, in 1572, a castle chapel was set up in the newly built royal wing, which was also increased with two staves. The castle served as the residence of the royal family for several years.

The current church consists of a nave with a round tower with a conical, copper-covered spire. The tower was originally one of the flanking towers of the castle.
