The Danish Castles The day before departure was devoted to visiting of castles. On the one hand, it was raining, so it was impossible to walk around the castles and in towns and to make photos. On the other hand, because of the bad weather I had enough time to visit two castles. I had never seen such amazing castles. The first castle was Kronborg. It is situated in Elsinore and is called Hamlet's castle because of the famous Shakespeare's tragedy. The Kronborg's guide says William Shakespeare set his play there. There are not many furniture and pictures in the castle due to the occupation of one by Swedes in 1658. However it has enough sights to sense medieval spirit. So contemporary technologies allow to make an illusion of flaming fireplace. It was so remarkable to walk in the castle's apartments, listen to sounds of flaming fireplace, look at illusory fire and feel illusory warm. I viewed a Swedish coast and imagined castle's life, listening to the fire's sounds. It is raining, a man is sitting behind a table by a fireplace and reading some papers. Soldiers noticed a ship and one of them is reporting now. Water is dribbling down his coat. The man, sitting behind the table, knows he must stand up, take a coat, leave this comfortable and warm room and join to the soldiers outside the castle to examine the ship. First time in my life I saw a ballroom there. It is the largest ballroom in Northern Europe and it is decorated a series of pictures, devoted to planets. Each picture has a small tablet with plot's description, made simply and clearly. First time in my life it was interesting for me to look at the pictures. I guess, having known its plots, it was so interesting.
