The castle is situated on the extreme northeastern tip of the island of Zealand at the narrowest point of the Øresund, the sound between Denmark and Sweden. In this part, the sound is only 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) wide, hence the strategic importance of maintaining a coastal fortification at this location commanding one of the few outlets of the Baltic Sea.

Interesting facts. What a clear day to take the picture of a castle.
ReplyDeleteAmazing picture and interesting post. It's so exciting that places which you read about in famous books, really exist.
ReplyDeleteExtremely beautiful castle - I've been teaching Hamlet this term to Grade 12 students and as usual, find it a bit boring. Not my favourite Shakespeare play by far. But this architecture and scenery is so beautiful!
