The Throne Room

Hello Fiete Q., Greetings to Ida Bogø. She doesn't like hyenas either.

In the castle park

The neo-Gothic town hall with its round towers and 65m high clock tower is one of Helsingborg's landmarks. It was built between 1892 and 1897.

Kronborg Castle, known worldwide for Hamlet and Shakespeare, is one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in Northern Europe and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In Helsingør, where the Sound between Denmark and Sweden is at its narrowest, Kronborg Castle is located and overlooks the Sound, surrounded by a mighty fortification with bastions and cannon batteries. The castle has a fascinating history and is definitely worth a visit. Few places in the world are surrounded by as much drama and history as Kronborg Castle. Kronborg's history goes back to 1420, when Erik of Pomerania built the Krogen fortress to control the entrance to the Sound and to be able to collect the lucrative Sound toll from passing ships. The Sound toll was of great importance to Helsingør for more than 400 years. The money went straight into the king's pocket, but trade associated with the Sound toll made the city wealthy and famous throughout the world. Frederik II built the magnificent Renaissance castle we know today in 1574-85 as a powerful symbol of wealth and power. The Sound Customs funded towers and spires, copper roof and sandstone ornaments. During Kronborg's heyday in the late 16th century, rumours of the pomp and splendour and decadent lifestyle of the court circulated among sailors, merchants, diplomats and aristocrats. Shakespeare used Kronborg as the setting for his immortal play of the king's son Hamlet, and outside Denmark the castle is now best known as Hamlet's Castle. Kronborg was devastated by a fierce fire in 1629, which left only the castle church surviving. Christian IV rebuilt the castle with extensive new decorations in the Baroque style, but in 1658 Kronborg suffered new misfortune when the Swedes bombed and captured the castle, taking many precious art treasures as spoils of war. Kronborg was fortified as a fortress with the Kronwerk in 1690 by Christian V, but after that the castle was largely no longer inhabited by royalty. From 1785 to 1923 the military used the castle, and only then, after a thorough restoration, was it returned to the heyday of Frederik II and Christian IV. https://www.visitdenmark.de/daenemark/reiseplanung/schloss-kronborg-unesco-weltkulturerbe-gdk1077722

A huge town hall… great

There was already a fortification here in Viking times. No wonder you can see as far as Denmark in good weather and have a view of the sea all around. Nowadays there is only a high tower from the Middle Ages and part of the wall with access. Very impressive

The royal fortress Kronborg with its fortifications and the magnificent royal palace is an absolute highlight and definitely worth a visit! Inside the castle you can see many historically furnished rooms.
