Located on a strategically important site commanding the Sund, the
stretch of water between Denmark and Sweden, the Royal castle of
Kronborg at Helsingør (Elsinore) is of immense symbolic value to the
Danish people and played a key role in the history of northern Europe in
the 16th-18th centuries. Work began on the construction of this
outstanding Renaissance castle in 1574, and its defences were reinforced
according to the canons of the period's military architecture in the
late 17th century. It has remained intact to the present day. It is
world-renowned as Elsinore, the setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
