Kronborg Castle Photography
Kronborg Castle
in Helsingør, Denmark
This is bucket-list item for anyone traveling to Denmark. I was fortunate enough to visit Copenhagen for 8 days in May this year. Kronborg is also UNESCO world heritage site. Also known as "Elsinore" in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, or some simply call it Hamlet's castle.
I took some pictures of this magnificent stronghold.

Your photos are great, what is the story behind the underground tunnel??
The casemates of Kronborg was used to protect the soldiers from bullets.
1000 men with horses could stay underground for up to 6 weeks. They also stored food supplies for the soldiers and horses there.
