NOTES: Constructed on three islets in Lake Slotsso, this is the largest Renaissance palace in Scandinavia. The oldest parts of this castle were built in 1560 by Frederik II, while the majority of the present castle was built between 1600-1620 by his son, Christian IV in Dutch Renaissance style. It remained the principal royal residence until the eighteenth century. Much of the interior of the castle and two-thirds of the royal portrait collection was destroyed by fire in 1859. Its restoration was financed by J C Jacobsen, the Carlsberg brewer, on the condition that the castle became a museum. It became known as the National Museum of History in 1878 and houses the Royal Collections.

NOTES: Founded by the Teutonic Order in 1274, this vast brick fortress is considered one of the finest examples of secular medieval architecture on the European mainland. The castle was expanded several times to host the growing number of Knights up until 1456 when the Order abandoned it on being defeated in the Polish-Lithuanian- Teutonic War. It was used as a royal residence intermittently thereafter. The castle was in the process of being restored when World War II broke out during which time more than half of the castle was destroyed. Further damage was caused by fire in 1959. The rebuilt castle complex comprises the Upper, Middle and Lower (outer) castle, and restoration has been ongoing since 1962.
