Built in 1574-85, Kronborg Castle is known throughout the literary world as the setting for Shakespeare's Hamlet. It stands in majestic glory facing the serene bay that it shares with Helsingborg. The castle, which lies in a tactical vantage overlooking the entrance to the Sound of Øresund, burnt down in 1629 but was rebuilt in 1637 by Hans van Steenwinckel the Younger. Kronborg contains the 62 meter (203.4 foot) long Knight's Hall - one of the longest halls in Europe - and the famous statue of Holger Danske. Legend has it that when Denmark is threatened, the stone figure will come alive and rise in defense of the kingdom. This fantastic Renaissance castle is part of UNESCO's World Heritage List.
