Descend beneath Christiansborg Palace on Slotsholmen for a guided time-travel tour through the ruins of Absalon's Castle and Copenhagen Castle. Medieval and Renaissance fortifications once protected the growing trading city of Copenhagen from enemy attacks, and you will see the remains of the castle's storerooms, bakehouse, and wells, along with the Bagertårnet ruin and granite columns from one of its grand halls.
Guide Hannes takes you through the tales of the place, including the notorious Blåtårn prison tower and its dungeons, where the king's daughter Leonora Christina was held for around 22 years. Hannes also appears at another tour of the same ruins on 14 November 2026.
