     Hamlet's castle is said to have been built in the 1420's. The first building of Hamlet's castle *also called Kronborg Castle in Elsinore Denmark* was built as a fortress. The Danish King Erik of Pomerania first started the creating of the Kronborg Castle. After the Danish king Erik of Pomerania was no longer at the castle to rebuild and continue building the castle came King Fredrick the 2nd. In the late 16th century Kronborg Castle in Elsinore became more known as a utilitarian Fortress like a Fairy Tale style castle. The castle was rebuilt with marble fireplaces and paintings on the ceiling. The castle name changed from Krogen Castle to Kronborg Castle which most Danish still would call it. Around 1629 a fire hit the castle and the Swedish took over the castle. The Queen of Denmark at the time was said to have been jailed in the castle tower for having an affair with one of the kings doctors or physicians. Years later the Kronborg castle was converted into a prison or slave prison and later barracks. The castle was said to have been abandon prior to Sir Laurence Olivier taking over the castle for a performance of Hamlet.

   In 1922 Kronborg Castle went through major changes to restore the castle to its 16th century style. Some of the Danish call the hall in the castle The Great Hall. The castles hall is said to be one of the longest in Scandinavia. In the castle you will also find a slab of stone with a statue of the Viking king Holger Danske which is said to be waiting to rise up and fight enemy intruders or anyone that would try to take over the castle ect. There is a chapel on the castle grounds and even a Danish Museum located on Hamlet's Castle grounds which is open all year for people to visit the Danish castle.
