Kronborg Castle

The elegant Kronborg Castle in Elsinore is known around the world as home to Sheakespear's Hamlet. 

Kronborg Castle is situated in Elsinore at the seaward approach to the Øresund Sound.

Kronborg Castle is an elegant Renaissance castle and monumental military fortress, surrounded by major fortifications with bastions and ravelins. Known all over the world from Shakespeare's Hamlet, it is also the most famous castle in Denmark.

Among the most important attractions are perhaps the 62-metre long ballroom, the wonderfully preserved chapel, and the statue of Holger Danske (Ogier the Dane) in the castle dungeons.

Kronborg Castle became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in year 2000.
