At Koldinghus, see where Danish kings received foreign ambassadors, presided over the high court, and held banquets and balls. The castle was originally built as a fortress in 1268, but it also served as a royal residency. Today, it houses a museum. See the collections of old furniture, Roman and Gothic church culture, and old Danish paintings. A fire that broke out in 1808 left the castle in ruins. The north side, facing the castle lake, is the oldest part still standing. See how some other parts--such as the south wing and the chapel--were only partially restored in order to maintain the memory of this dramatic episode.

Nice experience even if I don’t know much about Danish history. The castle is very well highlighted with a modern renovation. It was a nice visit through different levels and you can even go on the top with a great city view. Currently there is an exhibition about the princess Mary and other members of the danish Crown. You can see there in particular some incredible royal jewels like the Ruby set.

A beautiful castle with some history as well as modern exhibitions. When we visited there was an exhibition on Queen Margrethe's embroidery and it was fantastic! There are some activities for kids as well, but I would recommend going with adults.
