Nadja and her Grandma walking through town toward the castle.
Getting to the castle perimeter.
Approaching the castle gates and entrance.
In the inner courtyard.
Checking out he statues and inner courtyard.
The front of the castle going into the museum inside.
King Christian IV built this castle in the late 1500's, early 1600's, and this is some of his fine silver and nice tapestries on his wall.
More tapestries.
The fam in the giant ballroom, covered with amazing portraits, intricate carvings all over, and just amazing history all around.
The church inside the castle, also with many great artworks of Christ, the apostles, etc. One room in here has Carl Bloch's works throughout (you'd recognize them because the church uses them throughout the temples and ward houses)
Leaving the interior of the castle to walk around to the gardens behind.
Walking around the side of the castle, and over part of the moat to the gardens behind. It was really windy, blowing leaves all over (check out Laney's flinching!)
More pics of the awesome walking path around the castle and over the moat.
Entrance to the gardens. I guess in the summertime there are roses spread throughout. 
In the first set of gardens. The gardens go on to several lakes, forests, etc. but we were all getting cold and tired from all the walking, (plus the batteries on the camera died) 
The gorgeous view of the first set of gardens, the lake/moat, and the castle. (Can you see a crown shape in the bushes below?) This is my favorite spot thus far. Simply amazing!
