Koldinghus

Koldinghus was built in the middle of the 13th century, and in the centuries that followed it was one of Denmark's most important royal castles. In 1808 there was a fire that left the castle in ruins – a romantic relic. Today the castle has been restored and houses a museum which is a centre for cultural activities and special exhibitions of international standing.

Kongernes Jelling

Reviewed By BoardingPass772354 - College Station, United States

In addition to seeing the renowned Jelling Runes across the street, you have to fully experience the Kongernes Museum which not only chronicles Viking history, but also describes their daily lives and customs (Viking helmets did not have horns). A real highlight was learning Bluetooth technology was named in honor of King Harold Bluetooth who brought various tribes together through his communication skills. The Bluetooth logo consists of the Viking letters B and H.

Jacob A. Riis Museum

One of the most influential journalists and social reformers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jacob A.

This is a museum which puts things in perspective, forcibly reminding the visitor where we have come from in just 120 years or so.
