About 30 minutes north of Copenhagen is a town called Helsingor, which is located on the water at the narrowest point between Denmark and Sweden. We went to see Kronberg Castle, the setting for Hamlet. The original castle is 600 years old but the one standing today was built in 1640.
The foundation of the original castle is still in tact and is used as the basement/storage area called the casemates. It's basically a labyrinth of corridors and small rooms that acts as a barracks during times of war. This is where Holger the Dane lives. He's a legendary soldier who wakes up during times of war to help fight for Denmark. He is yet to awake from his slumber.
