During its more than 700 years of existence, Koldinghus Castle-the last royal castle in Jutland -has played an important part in the history of Denmark: as a frontier defense, as a royal residence and as the seat of the local state administration. Since a disastrous fire in 1808, the castle has attracted much attention. Today, it is a museum of cultural history and a home of cultural activities. With stark illustrations, this lovely guide provides a wonderful introduction to the history of this castle, and to its main collections of Danish handicrafts and applied art from the Renaissance to the 1950s.
