Experience autumn at Koldinghus
Experience the royal activities and events at Koldinghus this autumn.
Hunt for Denmark’s Crowned Moments!
Autumn holiday at Koldinghus – Saturday 11 – Sunday 19 October
This autumn holiday, Koldinghus invites the whole family inside for a special experience in the new exhibition “Crowned Moments” – a fascinating journey through Danish history told by the objects that were there when history was written.
Here you can discover everything from the story of King Christian X’s white horse from the 1920 Reunification, to Caroline Mathilde’s garter, which became evidence in a royal scandal. See the Constitution Pen that ended Absolute Monarchy, and the Oldenburg Horn, full of myths and power. The exhibition brings you close to kings, queens, revolutions, and reforms – and to the objects that helped shape our shared history.
Activities during the autumn holiday:
History Hack for ages 9–15
With a mobile phone in hand, older children and teenagers must find answers hidden in the exhibition. Who gets the most points? It’s fun, a little challenging, and perfect for curious minds!
When: Every day 10:00–17:00
Where: Start at the entrance to the exhibition
Crown Trail for ages 3–8
The youngest visitors receive their own discovery booklet to fill out together with an adult – or alone if they’re old enough. Drawing, guessing, and spotting things in the exhibition make it a fun way to explore together.
When: Every day 10:00–17:00
Where: Booklets available at the exhibition entrance
Live Stories in the Exhibition
Our storytellers bring history to life and share fascinating tales with anyone who wants to listen! You might meet someone close to the events when Queen Alexandrine became the first woman to get a driver’s license, or when King Christian X rode his white horse across the border to Southern Jutland.
When: Sunday 12 – Friday 17 October, 11:00–15:00
Where: In the exhibition
Make Your Own Royal Box
Inspired by the Crowned Moments exhibition, you can create beautiful decoupage boxes. Cut out motifs and patterns, glue them on boxes, wood, or glass, and finish with lacquer to make it last. A creative workshop for all ages – and you’ll bring home a unique royal box.
When: Every day 11:00–16:00
