1. Kronborg

Kronborg Castle, located in the city of Helsingør (often called Elsinore in English), is famous worldwide for being the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet . Built in the 15th century and flourishing during the Renaissance, Kronborg is located right at the narrowest point of the Øresund Strait, a strategic position controlling the sea route between Denmark and Sweden. More than just a military fortress, Kronborg also has artistic beauty with Renaissance architecture and has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

2. Frederiksborg

Located in Hillerød, Frederiksborg Castle is a large Renaissance palace built on three small islands in the middle of Slotssøen Lake. Originally the residence of King Christian IV, Frederiksborg, after many renovations, now houses the National History Museum with a priceless collection of royal portraits. The Baroque garden surrounding the castle, with its strict geometrical layout and symmetrical lines, creates a solemn and poetic space, making Frederiksborg the "Versailles of Northern Europe".

3. Hermitage

Unlike many large royal castles, the Hermitage Hunting Lodge (Eremitagen) was not a permanent residence but a Baroque structure used to host royal banquets during hunting trips in the Deer Forest (Dyrehaven), north of Copenhagen. The most special feature of the Hermitage is the royal dining table, which was designed with a lifting mechanism that could be lowered from the basement to the banquet hall, so that the king and guests could dine without servants, meaning "royal privacy".

4. Amalienborg

Amalienborg is the official residence of the Danish Royal Family and consists of four identical palaces arranged in an octagon around a central square. The Amalienborg grounds are the site of the changing of the guard, one of the royal ceremonies that visitors look forward to every day. Inside is the Amalienborg Museum, which displays private rooms, royal jewels and the history of the Danish monarchy.

5. Fredensborg

Fredensborg Palace was built in the early 18th century in the Baroque and Rococo style, located in a large forest and garden. This is where the Royal Family rests in the spring and autumn, as well as holding many royal ceremonies such as weddings and birthdays. Within the castle grounds, there is a royal chapel and a meticulously designed Baroque garden, creating a solemn yet romantic setting.

6. Christiansborg

Christiansborg Palace is located on Slotsholmen Island in the center of Copenhagen, where three powers converge: legislative ( Parliament ), executive (Prime Minister's Office) and judicial (Supreme Court). The current castle is the third version: the previous two burned down and had to be rebuilt. Underneath the castle are still ancient ruins such as the 12th-century Absalon fortress, creating a timeless historical depth. The Royal Reception Rooms are the part that still retains its formality, often used for state occasions and royal events.

7. Rosenborg

Built in the early 17th century under King Christian IV, Rosenborg Castle was originally a summer residence, but is now a museum displaying the unique royal collection. Inside the castle is the Danish crown, throne, silverware and many other royal memorabilia. Outside is the Royal Garden (Kongens Have), Copenhagen's oldest garden, which is a popular place for strolling or nature viewing.

8. Egeskov

Egeskov Castle, located on the island of Funen (Fyn), was built in 1554 on a lake using oak piles, creating the illusion of floating on the water. Egeskov is considered one of the best-preserved Renaissance water castles in Europe, with its two buildings linked by double walls, drawbridges, secret passages and round towers. The castle grounds also include gardens, a maze, a gallery of vintage cars and a display of "Titania" dolls, making Egeskov a popular destination for both history buffs and families.
