Dronningholm Slot, Medieval castle ruins in Halsnæs Municipality, Denmark.

The castle ruins stand on elevated ground overlooking Vinderød, situated between Auderød and Brederød near the expansive Arresø lake.

Valdemar the Great initiated construction of Dronningholm Castle in the 12th century, and his son Valdemar Victory completed it around 1200.

The castle remains hold protected monument status in Denmark, representing medieval architectural elements and defensive construction methods.

Visitors can access the castle ruins at any time throughout the year, with the site remaining open 24 hours daily.

Ships could once sail directly to the castle through Arresø lake, although no navigable connection to the sea existed.
