Koldinghus, Kolding

Saw the exhibition Splendour of Power. It was absolutely amazing. And the castle itself has such a rich and interesting history from when it was built until today! I loved it.

A castle that has been re constructed. The only original figures are the external walls and some internal. Is a very big area to cover, they will give you modest map to help you guide yourself inside the castle. Mostly dedicated to the monarchy throughout history, really interesting and great displays. Entrance fee £15 a person. If you are in Kolding I highly recommend it.

Wonderful place, over the lake. From here you can you a lot of the city. Amazing at night, with romantico lights.

Didn't plan to visit but very glad that we did. Koldinghus does a great job at mixing the old and the new and provides multiple hands-on exhibits. Our 16 year old son greatly enjoyed the ability to handle the swords and helmets, they had supervised sword play with sticks, and several other opportunities to get hands-on. Many different rooms and places to explore, beautiful architecture, and located in the city center with many options to eat, shop, and wonder. We toured many castles on our trip (Baltic cruise plus Scotland) and Koldinhus was the stand-out.

Great story behind it all. I may suggest you have some time to spend, as it is a lot to see.
