Haderslevhus

The building foundations measure 80 by 75 meters, located in the eastern section of Haderslev near the current Slotsgade 33 address point.

First mentioned in documents from 1326, Haderslevhus served as a residence for governors and underwent reconstruction into Hansborg palace between 1557 and 1585.

The structure played a role in the Danish Reformation when Christian III declared Protestant reforms from this location in 1526.

The ruins of Haderslevhus can be accessed through the central area of Haderslev, with the site marked at coordinates 55.24986 latitude and 9.49142 longitude.

After the fire of 1644, materials from the destroyed castle were transported to Copenhagen and used in the construction of the Danish Royal Library.
