Best Castle Photos: Denmark

Danish castles in pictures, from Hamlet’s fortress to a royal treasure house. Kronborg Castle stands on a point by the sea in Helsingør, where Denmark and Sweden are only about 4 km apart. For centuries it collected tolls from ships sailing through the Øresund, and Shakespeare set Hamlet here. In central Copenhagen, the Renaissance Rosenborg Castle stands in the King’s Garden and keeps the Danish crown jewels. All photos come from places we have visited and described.
