Here's an advertisement, haha. The moat outside the city wall is really a sea within a river, a wall within a wall. Kronborg Castle is located at the northern end of Zealand Island, Denmark, near Helsingør. It is an important Renaissance building in Northern Europe. Kronborg Castle was built by the Danish King Eric of Pomerania in the 1420s.

Kronborg is a famous tourist destination in Denmark. It is a small peninsula located more than 30 kilometers north of Copenhagen, across the Sound between Sweden and Denmark and Helsingborg. Kronborg Castle is one of the most important castles in the European Renaissance and the earliest and most famous background of Shakespeare's famous play Hamlet.

It attracts thousands of tourists every year. Kronborg Palace, majestic and solemn, is one of the most famous palace buildings in Denmark and an important national symbol of the Danish people. The saying "sail to Kronborg" means returning to the Danish motherland. The Danish flag flutters in the wind. Kronborg Palace was officially named after King Frederick II of Denmark.

But its history can be traced back to the 1420s, when Kronborg Castle was a heavily fortified castle. Frederick II was influenced by the ideas of the European nobility at the time and believed that wealth replaced military power as a symbol of power. From 1574 to 1585, he rebuilt Kronborg Castle into a typical Renaissance palace on the original basis.

Towers and pointed roofs were added, and the entire palace was renovated. Kronborg Castle has experienced many major historical changes. In 1629, Kronborg Castle was almost completely destroyed by a fire. In 1631, Christian IV began to restore Kronborg Castle to its original appearance, but added early Baroque decorations to the interior.

The palace is filled with antique furniture, oil paintings, tapestries, and wood carvings. In the King's Room on the second floor, there is a portrait of King Charles I of England, a masterpiece by the famous Dutch painter Gaillard. In 1658, Kronborg Palace was bombarded and occupied by the Swedes. The Swedes looted Kronborg Palace and left soon after.

They looted a large amount of precious art treasures left by Frederick II. In 1690, Christian V built fortifications in Kronborg as a fortress to resist land attacks. From then on, the Danish kings stayed less and less in Kronborg Palace, and in 1785 Kronborg Palace became a garrison camp.

After the army left Kronborg in 1923, the furnishings in Kronborg Palace were meticulously restored to their original state during the reign of Frederick II and Christian V. Ancient artillery and weapons are still preserved in the castle. There is only one white swan in the water, and I don't know where the other swans have gone. The walls are very mottled and covered with moss, which is the sedimentation of history.

The sky is grey above the castle. The castle looks even more desolate. The Sound, the calm sea. You can see that the ancient fortifications are still preserved on the seashore. Castle map. Danish landmark. Oresund in Danish and oresund in Swedish. The strait between Sjaelland, Denmark and Skane, Sweden.

12 degrees 40 minutes east longitude, 55 degrees 50 minutes north latitude. It is connected to the Kattegat Strait in the northwest and the Baltic Sea in the south. It is 110 kilometers long from Kullen in Sweden to Falsterbo. The narrowest point is 4.8 kilometers and the shallowest point is 7 meters. The surface current flows to the Kattegat Strait at a speed of 4.8 to 6.4 kilometers per hour.

There are almost no tides, and the fjord is frozen in mid-winter, making navigation impossible. There are three large islands in the strait: Amager, Ven and Saltholme. The main ports are Copenhagen and Helsingor in Denmark, and Malmo and Helsingborg in Sweden.

Historically, it was a waterway of great commercial interest. From 1429 to 1657, Denmark occupied both sides of the strait and collected tolls from all passing ships. The strait is one of the busiest sea passages in the world. The Sound is 110 kilometers long, 4-28 kilometers wide, and 12-28 meters deep, making it the deepest waterway in the Baltic Sea.

The island of Salholm is divided into two parts, east and west, by the strait. The important coastal ports are Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmo in Sweden. I got up in the morning and continued to write. I was drunk thinking that Yunluo was either writing travel notes or making guides or on the road every day. The vermilion gate. The Danish talent for architecture really flows in their genes.

Greek columns, Corinthian columns? Kronborg Castle is one of the most important parts of Danish cultural history. From the outside, the royal palace is in sharp contrast to the rough and barbaric camp. The interior decoration and furnishings of Kronborg Castle are a vivid illustration of art, design and royal values ​​and lifestyles during the Renaissance and Baroque period.

Actors in national costumes. The knight on the top of the spire is magnificent. Various souvenirs of Danish Hogel, which I will introduce later. I like this silver-inlaid musket. The story of Hamlet also happened here. This is the entrance to the underground castle, which is still quite gloomy inside. There is a self-service flashlight rental machine at the door.

It is a medieval castle. In the 18th century, King Christian IV strengthened the fortifications around Kronborg Palace. The palace was constantly renovated. From 1785 to 1922, Kronborg was used as a barracks. The artillery outside the palace has a history of 200 to 300 years. Kronborg Palace also has an underground fortification facility.

At that time, there was a secret passage from the king's bedroom to the underground fortifications. When the war situation became tense, the king could go directly from the bedroom to the underground fortifications through the secret passage and escape from there. The entire underground fortifications could accommodate thousands of soldiers. During wartime, soldiers could be trained and stationed in the fortifications, and there were arrow slits to resist foreign enemies.

There are pools for storing salted fish and bacon in the fortifications, which can be used as food for soldiers. In a corner of the fortifications, there is a dark and damp triangular death cell, which is used to imprison political prisoners. For many years, no one imprisoned in the death cell has come out alive, except for a Swedish pastor. The ogier in the tunnel is also translated as Hogier, which is the image of the spade jack in playing cards.

He was the son of Geoffrey, the first Christian king of Denmark. In the 8th century, when Charlemagne marched north, Geoffrey was defeated by Charlemagne, and Hoger was taken hostage as a condition of surrender. Hoger was sent to Charlemagne's palace, and thus began his legendary life.

Even in a foreign country, he never lacked the courage and grace of a prince. When the army of the Umayyad Dynasty of the Arab Empire invaded, Hoger fought bravely and made military achievements, which was praised by Charlemagne. Later, Hoger accidentally killed Charlemagne's son and fled back to Denmark. Then, Charlemagne marched into Denmark. Hoger led his soldiers in his castle to resist for 7 years.

When the Muslim army invaded again, he understood the greater good and reconciled with Charlemagne, fighting against the enemy together and maintaining the glory of the cross. According to legend, Hoger was blessed by six fairies and even won the respect of his opponents when he fought against the Saracens. In the widely circulated "Song of Roland", Hoger was one of Charlemagne's twelve knights and made great military achievements.

But he died in the battle of the Pyrenees. At the entrance to the basement, stands this warrior sleeping with his sword in his hand. The romantic Danes believe in another legend. After years of fighting, Hoger was tired. After returning to his castle, he was too tired and fell into a long sleep.

In the deep cellar, his long beard hangs down, his sword is cold, but he still pays attention to everything in Denmark in his dreams. Every Christmas Eve, an angel comes to tell him that the Denmark he saw in his dream is still peaceful. He can continue to sleep. However, when Denmark needs him,

Hogel would not hesitate to break free from his sleep and wield his sword again to defend his country. Kronborg Palace was destroyed twice in history: the first time was in 1623, when the entire palace and its furnishings were almost completely burned to ashes, and the only surviving thing was the church in the palace.

After being restored in 1637, the structure of the palace was changed to a Baroque style, and the roof outside the palace was changed from the original round spiral tower to a spire. The second time was during the "Nordic Seven Years' War". The Swedes occupied Kronborg from 1658 to 1660 and looted the palace.

The furnishings in the palace are all copied according to the situation at that time. After coming out of the tunnel, you will go around the door and continue to take the 90dkk ticket back, and then start to visit the furnishings in the castle. The manhole cover in the center, why do humans like to throw money into the well? This is a relatively unpopular attraction. However, Yunluo still met a Chinese tour group.

Chinese people travel all over the world. Seabirds fly in the sky above Kronborg Castle. Before the Middle Ages, Helsingør was just a market where merchants sold gold. It was not until the beginning of the 13th century that the first church, the Sctolai Church, was built. There were many monasteries at one time, but only the church itself survives, which is today the Helsingør Parish Cathedral.

The King's Chamber in Kronborg. The interior decoration is very exquisite. Royal style. The whole chamber is not big. I don't know which sage it is, but you can see that his right foot has been touched and glowed. He holds a harp. A part of the castle on the left is under repair. Wandering in Kronborg, feeling the Nordic wind. People making wishes. Brown walls and brown tiles.

The story of Shakespeare's famous play "Hamlet" was originally a Danish folk legend, with Kronborg as the setting of the story. Later, many famous actors in the world performed "Hamlet" with the courtyard of the castle as the background. The castle is also famous for Shakespeare's immortal masterpiece. There are still stone carvings commemorating Shakespeare on the palace wall.

Hamlet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602. The play tells the story of how Uncle Claudius murdered Hamlet's father, usurped the throne, and married the king's widow Gertrude; Prince Hamlet therefore avenged his father on his uncle.

Hamlet is the longest of all Shakespeare's plays. It is the most frequently performed play by the Royal Shakespeare Company, formerly the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. It is one of the world's most famous tragedies and Shakespeare's most famous play, with profound tragic significance, complex character traits, and rich and perfect tragic artistic techniques.

It represents the highest achievement of the entire Western Renaissance literature. Together with Macbeth, King Lear and Othello, it is one of Shakespeare's "Four Great Tragedies". Strolling in the castle, you can feel the thousand years of time. Interesting models. European style chandeliers. Long corridors. The fireplace was built in 1605.

frodefredegod accepts the worship of the kings. The crown of Christian IV. I really want to open the window to feel the sea breeze, but the windows here are locked. Another oil painting. The corridor looks like a chess board, and there is music coming from afar, the lingering sound is lingering, sitting there quietly and feeling the time.

This is a blanket with a story, with explanations in Chinese or English. Yunluo understood it anyway. The story is quite complicated. The king, queen and princess are on it, and the scene is vivid. The piece on the top of the head. The craftsmanship is also good. Palace bedding. The interior decoration and furnishings of Kronborg Palace are the art of the Renaissance and Baroque styles.

A vivid illustration of the design and royal values ​​and lifestyle. Kronborg Palace oil painting. Isaacissa Acsz (1599-1688)'s oil painting Allegory of the Sound, with Kronborg as the background. The copper walls and iron cannons facing Helsingborg on the other side, how many stories of swords were drawn. Another artifact in the exhibition hall.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Rotating the globe will produce a projection. Introduce the story of the inventor of movable type printing in the West. Johannes Gutenberg (also translated as "Gutenberg", "Gutenberg", "Gutenberg"), 1400-1468 AD. German inventor.

Born in Mainz, Germany around 1400, died in Mainz on February 3, 1468) was the inventor of movable type printing in the West. His invention led to a media revolution and rapidly promoted the development of Western science and society. Gutenberg used metal letters to arrange them into printed pages.

The new thing about this method was that the letters could be reused, whereas the woodblocks of the past could not be reused. They could only be printed on the page they were printed on, and could not be used to print other pages. To this day, Gutenberg's Bible is considered a treasure in the art of printing. Gutenberg's invention spread very quickly in Europe.

In 50 years, 30,000 printed materials, totaling more than 12 million copies, were produced using this new method. Victor Hugo called printing the greatest invention in the world. The letters Gutenberg used were made of a lead alloy of lead, zinc and antimony. They cooled very quickly and could withstand the pressure of printing.

Printing itself was done using the rotary printing method. Paper and parchment were used for printing. Gutenberg's printing technology made printed materials very cheap, and the printing speed was greatly increased, and the printing volume increased. It greatly reduced illiteracy in Europe. Sinologist Yasuda Park claimed that the movable type printing technology in the West originated from China.

He wrote the book "History of the Spread of Chinese Culture to Europe" (written by French author Yasuda Parker, published by Commercial Press in July 2000). However, his views are not recognized by the international academic community. The international academic community generally believes that although the movable type printing in the West was invented slightly later than that in China, the direct source of the movable type printing used in later generations was Gutenberg's movable type printing.

There is no evidence that movable type printing was introduced to Europe. No cultural relics have been found in Arab countries, which are a must-go place for communication between China and the West. Various European stories. Classical fireplace. Very sophisticated. A map of Kronborg is included. It takes about 2 hours to go through it carefully.

I particularly like the lonely national flag flying in front of the vast sea. The rusty iron cannon. There are also cannonballs in front. They are all imitations embedded in the ground. If it is a sunny day, the color of the castle will be brighter. Between heaven and earth, how small people are. The sea-suppressing beast? Yun Luo's speculation. The deep alley. Walking in Northern Europe in the cold wind is a special feeling.

It reminded Yunluo of Brave Heart. It felt like the Scottish Highlands. One day of walking, I walked out of Kronborg to take a look at the library. There are great lawns and sea water here. The red house should be a restaurant, but it is not open. I don't know why. Seabirds are afraid of people and fly away when they get close.

The scale model outside the gate reminded Yunluo of the opening scene of Game of Thrones. Blue sky, white clouds, high walls and the sea, with planes flying over from time to time. In the distance were the masts of ships, and locals walking their dogs who posed for Yunluo's photo. We went to the library's restaurant bar to eat. Between light and shadow. It was like a dream.

Danish specialty, open sandwich, salmon, very delicious. Drinking orange juice while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Children's area in the library, haha. The fairy tale land is not short of fairy tales. Two guys seem to be playing Call of Duty. Children's painting bar, very interesting. Denmark, the country with the highest borrowing rate, also has many literary and artistic activities.

You can imagine how bored people are in a highly developed society, haha. Scandinavian design with bright ideas and beautiful geometric patterns. A dock map is included. This is the first time I have seen a train driven by people in Denmark. The graffiti on the building is world-class. This is the creation of an artist, so-called great hidden in the city. The bronze statue at the corner.

It looks like a nice hotel. The railway is very impressive. I took selfies here for a long time. The local Yunluo’s wife passed by and laughed at Yunluo’s struggle. There is a huge parking lot behind Kronborg. The ship repair factory. I guess there is one sailing yacht in each family. The beach is full of seabirds.

The sea and the city in the distance are a real sight. Heading to the train station~ The town is still very quiet. The beach in front of Kronborg is impassable. We circled back to the cafe, the Nordic vest-wearing macho man and his mink girlfriend. Heading to the train station. Is this crane a commemoration of the former prosperity here? There are also warships. (To be continued...)
