Hamlet's Castle



Here is the info on the beautiful castle we will be visiting. Supposedly, Hamlet lived here. Great for Shakespeare fans, good for architecture buffs, and fun for all. Here is the scoop:

Kronborg Castle
Kronborg Castle or Hamlets Castle, immortalised by Shakespeare, is situated at Helsingør or "Elsinore" and built by King Frederik II in 1590.
After the fire in 1629 his son the great builder among Danish Kings Christian IV completed the building of Kronborg Castle in 1638.
Kronborg lies at the entrance of Øresund, which was the ideal position to collect Sound Duties from ships entering Øresund to secure taxes and revenues.
