Danmarks Borgcenter, Medieval history museum in Vordingborg, Denmark
Danmarks Borgcenter is a history museum in Vordingborg built on the grounds of a medieval royal fortress. Underground exhibition halls contain digital displays and interactive content showing medieval Danish castles and how royal power was organized.
The fortress began in medieval times as a strategic stronghold for Danish kings, especially under Valdemar the Great, Valdemar the Conqueror, and Valdemar Atterdag. It served as a royal seat of power on Denmark's southern coast for centuries.
The center tells the story of seven Danish queens through displayed artifacts and documents, showing how these women shaped political decisions. Visitors see the daily world and choices that defined their lives.
Visitors receive tablets with digital guides providing detailed information about the castle grounds, exhibitions, and the preserved Goose Tower. The underground exhibition spaces are accessible and easy to navigate through the grounds.
The Goose Tower rises above the museum grounds as the sole remaining ruin from the original medieval castle built over 650 years ago. This tower stands as a symbol of what once was a powerful fortress before most of it disappeared over time.
