Gurre Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Helsingør Municipality, Denmark.
The stone remains of Gurre Castle stand on the shores of Lake Gurre Sø, featuring a central tower and sections of defensive walls.
The castle's construction began in 1150, serving as a residence for Danish royalty until King Valdemar Atterdag's death there in 1375.
The castle grounds maintain preserved elements of medieval Danish architecture, including the foundation of a chapel that received papal relics in 1364.
The archaeological site, located at coordinates 56.019499, 12.505246, remains open for visitors to examine the stone foundations and walls.
The first major excavation of Gurre Castle in 1835 revealed detailed maps and architectural elements that document medieval Danish construction methods.
