The wonderful bakery/cafe. Oldest one in Denmark? Don't know, but super legit, nonetheless.
This place was drool-tastic.
The weinerbrod I ordered in Danish!
Meat market. Mmmmmmm.
Kronborg in chocolate form. True art.
Helsingor from Kronborg
Kronborg Slot
Oh, heyyyy Sweden, what's up?
Beautiful carvings on the pews in the chapel.
The beautiful ceiling in the chapel. The whole castle used to have this.
Queen Margrethe I forming the Kalmar Union after the devastation of the Black Plague. You go girl. If this is a man's world, why is the King of Sweden ceding to her? Mhmm, she's kick ass.
The Knight's Hall, formerly the largest of its kind in Europe.
That beautiful door hides the pee banister I was talking about.
"That skull had a tongue in it and could sing once. How the
knave jowls it to the ground, as if it were Cain’s jawbone,
that did the first murder! It might be the pate of a politician,
which this ass now o'erreaches, one that would circumvent
God, might it not?" ~Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 1 <3
Tapestry depicting a lion hunt.
Holger Danske. Legend is if Denmark is threatened, he will wake up and spring to his defense. Looks like Denmark's safe today, cause he's pretty dead to the world.
See that globe? That's actually the most valuable thing in the whole castle.
Dungeons
Ursula, our tour guide, demonstrating torture...Danish style. The prisoners were trapped, standing in corners like that by iron bars.
