Conference Dinner at Kronborg Castle

The conference dinner will take place in Kronborg Castle and in the historical grand ballroom 'Dansesalen'. The largest Renaissance ballroom (62 meters long) in Northern Europe.

Shakespeare's Castle - Home of Hamlet: Tales of Kronborg's splendor, the wild parties held there, and royal escapades reached all the way to London and to William Shakespeare. He was inspired by it and chose the castle as the setting for his famous drama, Hamlet, where Kronborg became Elsinore Castle.

History: King Frederick II built Kronborg Castle during the period 1574–1585, and Kronborg Castle has stood for over 400 years – despite storms, sea battles, and sharp-witted Swedes. Here, kings have held wild parties with an abundance of food and wine, the Swedes have besieged with gunpowder and cannonballs, and the toll collectors have demanded their share of the ships' treasure chests that crossed the 'Øresund' toll.
