Koldinghus for children

Denmark

Would you like to be king / queen for a day, and go on a journey back in time? Then visit Koldinghus and follow in the footsteps of the nobles around the castle and explore history dressed in the most beautiful costumes.

Due to relocations at the Castle, Koldinghus is closed from 31 December to 12 February

After this, the Museum at Koldinghus opens in a new setting in Staldgården and Kongernes Samling Rosenborg and Amalienborg open a new department at Koldinghus.

Jump back in time to the old royal castle, Koldinghus! Follow in the footsteps of the Danish kings and queens, who have had their walk on the site and experience the historic surroundings just like those who lived here a hundred years ago. Koldinghus is full of mysteries and secrets that are waiting for you to reveal them. We promise you that while walking around the castle, you will forget the present, because Koldinghus takes you on an exciting journey back to previous centuries.  

Do you know the popular game of bowling? Did you know that it was a favorite activity already in the time of the kings? If you visit the castle’s inner courtyard, you will have the opportunity to try out the Royal Bowling alley from the old days. The rules have not changed over time, so you just play the same way you always did.

Also take part in the treasure hunt “On the trail of history” and explore every corner of the castle from the Giant Tower down to the eerie dungeon through fun tasks. Be a part of the story and get to know the lives of nobles and misses during the hunt.

You will find a room on the way up to the tower that you must not miss. The room hides a collection of old toys that the children used a long time ago. Look inside and see if you can recognize them all. We guarantee that you will be amazed at the experience when you compare your own favorite toy with that which is more than a hundred years old.

We wish you a lot of fun in Koldinghus – and remember to help keep the story alive!
