Located just behind Kronborg Castle, the fortress that inspired Hamlet, there is a small caretaker’s hut built alongside the castle’s outer wall. This cute extension of the fanciful stonework that decorates the castle serves as a fascinating contrast between royal opulence and the humble lifestyle of the common man (or woman). The building, with its oddly aligned walls, cute doorways and faded paint has an intoxicating charm, which made it one of my favorite parts of my visit to the UNESCO World Heritage site, which is located in Helsingor, Denmark.

This is so cute and quaint! There are some lovely old houses where we’re currently staying in France, but they’re not as unique as this.

Thanks for the kind words Christy! Definitely shoot me a tweet with the photos if you post any! This is definitely a charming little place ehh?
Doesn’t seem like a caretaker’s home because this house is way too beautiful!
Great shot by the way!

hehe, thank you!
It looks like it grew out of the side of the castle. It looks very shallow – is that the case?

Yep, very shallow. Likely only one room deep.
