Stay : The life of a castle!

A thousand year old kingdom, Denmark commands respect when it comes to building castles, palaces and fortresses. It has an enormous wealth of heritage, even though its surface area is barely one tenth the size of France. This architectural heritage is partly due to Christian IV, nicknamed the builder king, a monarch who was fond of architecture and Italy..
