Guided tour of Hammershus – 700 years of dramatic medieval history on Bornholm
Language: Danish

Experience an atmospheric and insightful guided tour of Hammershus – Bornholm’s most famous attraction and the largest castle ruin in Northern Europe. Here, among the impressive ruins, you will be introduced to more than 700 years of dramatic medieval history.

During the tour of Hammershus, you will follow a knowledgeable guide dressed in medieval costume who brings the past to life through historical insight and engaging storytelling. Hear about trials and executions, power struggles and sieges, attacks and defence – and about the castle’s role as a centre of power in the Baltic region. You will also learn about the castle’s heyday and its gradual decline as it lost its strategic importance.

This historical guided tour is aimed at adults and families looking for deeper insight, cultural history and authentic storytelling in spectacular surroundings. If children join the tour, our experienced guides are happy to involve them in the story in a fun and educational way. Combine the stories of medieval Denmark with the magnificent views across the Baltic Sea – and enjoy one of the most atmospheric experiences in northern Bornholm.

Practical information about the tour:

Evening tour at Hammershus – an atmospheric medieval experience at dusk – including exclusive access to the Butter Cellar.
Language: Danish

Experience a very special evening tour at Hammershus, where medieval history comes to life in the soft light of dusk. This atmospheric guided tour is an immersive experience for both adults and older children. The tour includes a visit to the Butter Cellar, which is normally closed to visitors.

With bat lanterns in hand, we make our way up through the castle grounds as darkness slowly settles over one of Bornholm’s most iconic sights. Along the way, the guide tells the story of the castle’s changing roles over more than 700 years – from centre of power and fortress to abandoned ruin – and of the struggle for control of Bornholm in the Middle Ages.

In the special atmosphere of sunset and twilight, stories emerge that rarely have the same impact in daylight. You will hear about dramatic events, power struggles and the lives of people who once moved within these walls. The evening tour offers a different and more intense way to experience the history of Hammershus, with the surroundings adding even more atmosphere to the stories.

Through vivid storytelling, you will gain insight into the most important events in the history of Hammershus – Denmark’s largest castle ruin and one of the country’s most important medieval monuments.
