About
Quick facts: Expect over 700 years of history packed into a single fortress complex. A large moat and cannons stand as reminders of its defensive past.
Highlights: Imagine wandering through rooms where Danish kings once strategized wars, with original 16th-century frescoes still visible on the ceilings. The fortress also shelters a fascinating natural history museum, featuring taxidermy and geological exhibits rarely found in castles.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven stone floors and outdoor paths.
- Head to the rooftop for panoramic views of the city and the turning windmill nearby.
- Skip weekends to avoid larger school groups and family crowds for a quieter experience.
- Bring a camera to capture the detailed frescoes and historic cannons outside.
