The kings may have been sitting on the throne – but it was often the queens who pulled the strings. Meet the powerful women of Kronborg.
On this captivating tour, we explore the lives of the powerful, complex, and often overlooked women who shaped Kronborg and Denmark’s history. Meet queens who navigated courtly intrigue, fought for influence, fell into scandal, faced accusations of witchcraft, or carried heartbreak behind gilded doors. Their lives were steeped in luxury and high expectations – but came with steep personal costs. The one-hour tour takes you through the chambers and corridors where these remarkable women lived, loved, and left their mark.
