Was she Danish?
Thinking to the Hamlet story is very interesting when you walk into this castle.
Kronborg Castle (Kronborg Slot)
My husband and I took the ferry ride from Helsingborg to Helsingor and visited Kronborg castle. The walk to the castle was pleasant, and the signs clearly directed tourists to its location. The castle is fascinating, located next to the sea and surrounded by a moat. You enter via a drawbridge and an underground passageway. So impressive! We enjoyed the cobble stone walkways and the local coffee shop offered snacks and coffee. The views back to Sweden are spectacular. Do wear comfortable shoes for the cobble stones. Do bring a flash light if you intend to visit the underground area, which is fascinating. Danish National Maritime Museum is also located in the castle. Very interesting and there are a huge number of models of ships but unfortunately we found it to be too many to absorb at one time. You can also walk around outside of the castle walls along the seaside.
Kronborg Castle (Kronborg Slot)
Kronborg is known by many also as "Elsinore," the setting of William Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Hamlet was performed in the castle for the first time to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, with a cast consisting of soldiers from the castle garrison. The stage was in the telegraph tower in the southwest corner of the castle. The play has since been performed several times in the courtyard and at various locations on the fortifications. Later performers to play Hamlet at the castle included Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, Christopher Plummer, Derek Jacobi, and in 2009 Jude Law.
