On Friday evenings in September, October and November, you can experience Kronborg after closing time and hear the history of the castle through a specially selected theme. When the castle is ready for the night, the lights in the royal apartment are turned off and all the castle guards have gone home, a guide is ready to invite you inside the quiet, dark castle. Together you move through grand halls, private chambers, winding staircases and locked doors illuminated only by the fading evening light and your flashlights. All spiced with the best stories about the 600-year-old castle and its inhabitants.

The theme for this edition of "Kronborg after closing time" is "Scary stories at the locked castle". Here we delve into some of the more sinister tales from Kronborg's past. Hear about everything from slave rebellions to today's unexplained events.

All tours end with a rum ball and a glass of port wine included in the ticket.
