Elsinore

2022-05-03 /

You have probably heard about Elsinore, but not as a town with an interesting old town with funny small details to enjoy. Most know the city from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, but the other is absolutely worth to spend time on – if you happen to visit the city and want to see something other than the castle.

this should be the oldest house in town, that is still in ordinary use. Lot of fine details to enjoy when passing it

Fine carvings in the beams on the optometrists house

A piece of art placed in the scene it depicts, Simon Spies plads

Ferry street, think it is the narrowest street in the city. Sometime it was blocked off so the households could use it as pigsties

Hamlet in new disguise

Saint Marie church and monastery, in Kirkestrædet, is worth a visit for the old architecture

And of course the castle as i looks today, when Shakespeare wrote his play it was much smaller
