The castle in Nyborg was built around 1170 as a royal castle to protect the Danish kingdom against the Wends. The large square powder tower was probably built by Knud, the nephew of King Valdemar the Great. The castle was expanded several times in the following centuries as a defensive bulwark.
The castle is currently being restored, but visiting the grounds is still worthwhile. The first parts are expected to reopen in the course of 2026.
