Kronborg Castle is probably the most famous Danish castle, known worldwide from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The elegant castle has both served as home for the royal family until the late 1600’s, but also as an active military fortress. Towering on a promontory in Northern Zealand, Kronborg faces the sound between Elsinore and Helsingborg in Sweden.
