The Koldinghus offers an interesting presentation of the history of the Danish-Schleswig border region. But the building itself is particularly worth seeing. Built in the remains of a burned-down ruin, it has deliberately refrained from restoring everything to its original condition. Ruin and new construction are clearly recognizable, but still merge into one.
It is very worth seeing.

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.

Koldinghus Castle, which was once a fortress, later converted into a royal castle and has been restored and expanded several times, is now a world-class attraction not only because of its fascinating architecture. There is also a wonderful view from the tower.

The former castle has been transformed into a place for cultural activities, not least thanks to the museum for regional history integrated in the castle with many interesting collections from painting, handicrafts, etc., with a focus on silver and ceramics, as well as international special exhibitions is an attraction for visitors from all over the world.

Koldinghus Castle proudly towers over the city from afar. The old royal castle has a very eventful history behind it - border guards, royal residence, local city administration, fire ruin, which attracted many poets and painters as a source of inspiration and finally a restored castle and museum - which can be seen in the architecture, the various rooms and the exhibitions reflects the castle.

Elegant knight's rooms, dark dungeons and the stories and myths that surround the castle make the visit an exciting experience for children too.
