Trumpets sounding, cannons roaring and a fountain shooting water 10 meters into the air. This is what it looked like when the king held a party at Kronborg.
Today, you still get a glimpse of the magnificent history, but without cannon shots and water fountains in your face. Instead, you'll be greeted by smiles and exciting stories of past kings, culture and architecture. Come inside and dive into centuries of history - we promise it will be a party!
Highlights at Kronborg

1.

A royal welcome

Every day we open the gates and welcome our guests in the courtyard, just as it has always been done at Kronborg. If you have any questions or need to find the restroom, you can always find castle guards in the courtyard ready to help you.

2.

Towers, steps and total show of force

Kronborg's towers and spires stretch high above the castle courtyard and show the strength of royal power. The beautiful copper towers were meant to impress guests, while the mighty Cannon Tower was where the King really flexed his power muscle. If you have good legs, you can take the 145 steps up the Cannon Tower and be rewarded with a fantastic view of the Øresund, southern Sweden and northern Zealand.

3.

Let go of the reins

Christian IV played here as a child, but now it's your turn! Slotsgården is the heart of Kronborg and a perfect place for fun and games. Challenge your balance on the stilts or swing in the saddle on the wooden horse - here you can let go of the reins.

4.

The pure water

The fountain in the middle of the castle courtyard is unfortunately no longer there, but the water is still there. In Frederik II's time, there was an impressive fountain in the middle of the castle courtyard, over 10 meters high. Today there is a slightly more modest well. On the other hand, it's drinking water you can fill your water bottle with.

5.

Power in the details

Renaissance kings knew that art could both impress and send political messages. That's why the facades of the palace courtyard were adorned with elaborate sandstone decorations that not only looked beautiful, but also showed that the kings were modern, cultured and incredibly powerful. Frederik II and Christian IV left their personal mark on the castle so that no one would ever forget them.
