Romantic boat trips and Renaissance gardens
Home of Shakespeare’s Hamlet
6 GAVNØ CASTLE
Officially the Museum of National History, the 17th
century Dutch Renaissance castle features royal
portrait collections. Visitors can also enjoy boating
trips on the castle lake – and a stroll through the
magnificent formal gardens. Regular concerts are
held in the baroque castle church.
Towering above the sea and bristling with
cannons, Kronborg Castle is the fictional home of
Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. The play
is staged each summer at the castle, which enjoys
UNESCO World Heritage patronage.
Gavnø is one of Denmark’s greatest cultural
treasures with fairytale adventures for the whole
family. It is a historical experience to walk amongst
the many beautiful old paintings and art interiors
at the castle. The Gavnø of today has far more
experiences to offer.
