Kastellet may be a pretty place for a Sunday walk in the fall, but it clearly was meant for defense. It held its ground against the Swedes in 1658 but fell against the English in 1807 and the Germans in 1940.

Kronborg Castle is the most famous castle in Denmark. It was allegedly the home of Hamlet and certainly one of the most important Renaissance castle in Northern Europe – and I didn’t take a picture of it…
I only had a short time there, I stick my promise to not photograph the obvious, and I didn’t enter the castle.
What you see here is part of the battlement reflecting in the moat. The reflection was only the second thing I noticed. The first thing was the line of downspouts.
