KRONBORG CASTLE WEDDING IN DENMARK

In the footsteps of Hamlet

 Kronborg Castle 

Kronborg Castle is a stunning, beautifully situated castle with its cannons facing Sweden across the narrowest part of the straits dividing the two nations. Located right on the seashore in the Helsingor town, the Kronborg Castle is just a 20-minute ferry ride from Sweden and a 40-minute car ride from Copenhagen.

 

In 2000, Kronborg Castle became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Feel royal, feel the breath of time, plunge into a historical atmosphere, go through the knightly halls and dance the waltz in the ballroom.

Kronborg castle is Denmark’s most famous castle, immortalized by Shakespeare back in the 1600s in Hamlet. 

 

Shakespeare changed the name of the Kronborg Castle to be Elsinore Castle. Today, Hamlet’s castle can be used by couples as a castle wedding venue.

Actors throughout Hamlet’s Elsinore Castle keep the historical spirit alive.
