Castle Hill and Castle Church of Skanderborg
Castle Church is a remnant of the former Skanderborg Castle, which was finally demolished in 1770.
In 1562-63 King Frederik II converted the medieval castle on Slotsholmen into a modern fortress. Due to the kingdom's financial problems, the king decided to settle in Skanderborg. Therefore, in 1572, a castle chapel was set up in the newly built royal wing, which was also increased with two staves. The castle served as the residence of the royal family for several years.
