’The bricklayer who faced death and daily sends a loving thought to the people he lost’. The queen who found herself in prison while her lover was executed’. ‘The event planner who survived a plane crash and found joy in the smaller things in life’. ‘The slave who chose death over a lifetime of toiling on the castle grounds’.

Meet these destinies and many more from Kronborg Castle’s present and past, when this book’s photos and stories offer a view into Scandinavian history as it’s never been shown before. Told by the people working the floor, rather than the royalty decorating the walls.
