Koldinghus Castle, originally built as a fortress, later transformed into a royal residence, and subsequently restored and expanded several times, is today a world-class landmark, not only for its fascinating architecture. The tower also offers a magnificent view.
The former castle has been transformed into a center for cultural activities, attracting visitors from all over the world thanks in no small part to the integrated Museum of Regional History. This museum houses many interesting collections of paintings, crafts, and more, with a focus on silver and ceramics, as well as international special exhibitions.
Koldinghus Castle rises proudly above the town, visible from afar. The old royal castle has a very eventful history – border guard, royal residence, local town hall, burned-out ruin that served as a source of inspiration for many poets and painters, and finally, a restored castle with a museum – all of which are reflected in the architecture, the various rooms, and the exhibitions within the castle.
Elegant knights' rooms, gloomy dungeons and the stories and myths surrounding the castle make a visit an exciting experience for children as well.
