Welcome to Kronborg
Mighty walls, open horizons
Kings, warriors and art from the Renaissance to today.
Kronborg is a fortress from the past, a castle full of drama and a central player in the story of Denmark. Amidst towers, halls, ramparts and moats, the echoes of history resound. Fates and adventures meet here, reminding us where we come from and who we can still be. There is storm, there is silence, there is sunshine and fog. But whatever the weather, you are welcome here at Kronborg.
