Lecture with completely new knowledge about Kalundborg Castle – which rewrites the history of the city! Also hear about the lesser-known chapters of the castle's history.
In tonight's lecture, medieval archaeologist and museum curator Martin Pavón presents the latest scientific dating of Kalundborg Castle, for which the Kalundborg Museum Association has donated funds.
These are results that rewrite the city's history and now prove that Kalundborg is the only European city that was founded with two castles. A result with great consequences for the history of the castle.
But we will also hear about some of the lesser-known chapters of the castle's history. Among other things, about Margrete I and her strong connection to Kalundborg and why she wrote her will and moved the national archives to the castle.
It also tells about the castle's role as a royal safe to store the national archives, the kings' treasures, and the original Dannebrog, and why the Pope sent a delegation to Kalundborg to examine these treasures.
In short, a lecture with many new and forgotten stories about Kalundborg Castle.
