Vordingborg Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Vordingborg, Denmark.

The castle site features the 26-meter-tall Goose Tower, remaining sections of an 800-meter defensive wall, and twelve semicircular towers extending from the structure.

King Valdemar I constructed Vordingborg Castle in 1175 as a strategic base for military operations against the Slavic tribes along the Baltic Sea coast.

The Danish Castle Centre presents exhibitions about royal power, including the stories of influential queens who shaped Denmark's medieval history.

The castle grounds contain a botanical garden, archaeological excavation sites, and a museum displaying artifacts discovered during ongoing research projects.

The Goose Tower, crowned with a golden goose statue added in 1871, stands as Denmark's only preserved medieval defense tower.
