Næsbyhoved Slot, Archaeological site in Odense, Denmark
The ruins of Næsbyhoved Slot stand on a promontory near Næsbyhoved Lake, north of Odense's center, surrounded by former marshlands.
First documented in 1337, the royal estate served as a strategic fortress until 1534 when citizens of Odense destroyed it during the Count's Feud.
The site gained recognition through Hans Christian Andersen's visits and writings about the grounds where medieval knights and ladies once gathered.
The protected ancient mound contains archaeological remains that researchers study to understand medieval Danish fortification structures and royal residences.
Queen Christine resided at Næsbyhoved Slot from 1504 until 1521, making it a center of royal administration during the early sixteenth century.
