Beautiful architecture

Archaeological discoveries have uncovered a wealth of information on the Viking era's influence on Danish architecture. When Romanesque and Gothic churches and cathedrals began to appear all over the nation in the Middle Ages, it solidified its position. Brick started to replace stone as the preferred building material during this time, not only for churches but also for fortifications and castles in a nation with limited availability of stone.

Danish architecture is exquisite and diversified, ranging from Viking military strongholds to Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and even the most modern forms. Every part of Denmark has a unique history to share, and the magnificent architecture will awe any visitor. Visit the Kronborg castle, which served as the inspiration for Hamlet in William Shakespeare's play, as well as the Fredensborg and Frederiksborg Palaces, located just north of Copenhagen. The Royal Library, the Royal Danish Opera House, and the intriguing Iceberg Building, an apartment building in Aarhus, are all noteworthy examples of modern architecture.
