Aalborghus, Renaissance castle in Aalborg Municipality, Denmark
The east wing of Aalborghus Castle stands near Limfjord, featuring half-timbered construction and traditional Danish architectural elements from the 16th century.
King Christian III commissioned architect Morten Bussert to build this fortified residence in 1539, replacing an earlier structure where King Hans died in 1513.
The castle represents North Jutland's administrative center, reflecting the power dynamics between Danish monarchy and local governance through its architectural design.
Visitors can access the castle's exhibitions and grounds through guided tours, with the building now serving as municipal council offices.
The northern wing, added in 1633 under King Christian IV, functioned as a granary and demonstrates the castle's evolution from military fortress to administrative center.
