The Sights

Kolding is the bordercity between Denmark and the former dutchies.

The city came into existence because of a ford and a castle was built for protection.

Even Kolding is a very old city, there is not much left from the old times, except the castle.

The castle stands today partly as a ruin, because of a fire in 1808. March the 29th some Spanish help-troops were feeling cold and because of a defect chimney a fire was caught. The castle has been restored in a fascinating way.
