Tranekær Castle

The castle, which dates from the time of Valdemar Sejr, is one of Denmark's most impressive and beautiful castles. It was originally built as a defensive castle with three-metre thick walls to prevent cannonballs from breaking through the fortress. Unfortunately, the castle is closed to the public, but just opposite the castle is Tranekær Castle Museum, where inventory from the castle is on display. A highly recommended visit, it gives a good impression of the castle's long history and the various artistic styles it has seen.
