Koldinghus offers an interesting glimpse into the history of the Danish-Schleswig border region. The building itself is particularly worth seeing. Constructed on the remains of a burned-down ruin, the intention was to deliberately avoid restoring everything to its original state. The ruin and the new construction are clearly distinguishable, yet blend seamlessly into a unified whole.

It's well worth seeing.

Koldinghus Castle, the core of the 13th century, burned out in 1808, partly modern (but adapted) reconstructed by 1990, with a cultural and historical museum; the location high above the city is also impressive.

Koldinghus has played an integral role in Denmark's history as a border fortress and one of the royal family's favorite castles, for more than 700 years.
