Beneath the current Danish government seat, Christiansborg Palace, lies a hidden treasure: the ruins of two earlier castles, the oldest dating back 800 years. These atmospheric ruins, deep below the palace, form a labyrinth that offers a tangible connection to medieval Copenhagen. Visitors can explore this subterranean maze, walking through the remnants of the past and experiencing the rich history that has shaped the city. The interplay of light and shadow in the ancient stone walls creates a vivid sense of stepping back in time.
