Happy tuesday my amazing HIVERS
Hope you had many smiles and
blessings today 😊
Today I hope to make you Smile a little by sharing my nr 1 favorite spot
to visit in Bornholm.
Hammershus
Hammershus is a ruin of a medieval castle on Bornholm's rocky junction off the coast south of Hammerknuden
on Bornholm's northwest corner. Hammershus is Northern Europe's
largest castle ruin.
This ruin is majestic 😍 beautiful!
Looking up 🙄 wow
In 2018, Crown Princess Mary
and Minister of the Environment and Food opened Esben Lunde Larsen, a new
visitor center designed by Christoffer Harlang in collaboration with Arkitema Architects next to the fortress, which was left by donation from
the National Fund.
Love this amazing ruin alot, and the many brick paths to walk on makes
you feel like you stepped
back in time.
This view was absolutly breathtaking
and everytime I see this,
I feel all bubbly 😍
The castle is believed to have been founded at the beginning of the 13th century, possibly by mutual agreement between the king, Valdemar Victory
and the archbishop of Lund,
Anders Sunesen.
Reasonably, this is the castle
Jakob Erlandsen mentioned when
he defended his construction
activities by merely expanding an
existing castle when Christoffer I
complained that he broke the
ban on building new castles.
In 1265, the castle was conquered
by Erik Klipping, but was given back
to the Archbishop in 1276 so that
under the subsequent archbishops
Jens Grand and Esger Juul it could
play an important role in the
power play between king
and church.
Erik 6. Menved was dissatisfied that
outlaws could seek shelter on the
castle, and in 1319 Marshal Ludvig
Albertsen Eberstein succeeded
in taking the castle.
This spot was incredleble and the way the Light came in 😍 magical!
I stood here a long time and was
amazed by the atmosphare.
PEACEFUL!
Eberstein was first the king's chief
at the castle, but when it was returned
to the Archbishop of Christoffer II in
1321, he was the lord of the
Archdiocese's seat in Lund.
In 1324 - 1325 he defended the
fortress against the attack and siege
of the king Peder Vendelbo.
After 16 months of siege, Eberstein surrendered, and King Valdemar Atterdag assumed control of the castle,
but soon after returned it to the
archdiocese, which retained the castle
until 1522, when Christian II claimed Hammershus and subsequently bishop
of Odense, Jens Andersen Beldenak ,
in custody of the castle.
In 1522 Hammershus was conquered
by the lübeckers. They renovated the
castle and used it in the years they
had from 1526 on Bornholm in
mortgage. From 1576
Hammershus was again in the
hands of the Danish king.
At Roskilde Peace in 1658,
the Swedes also gained Bornholm,
and they appointed Johan
Printzensköld as governor.
The Bornholm rebels led by
Jens Pedersen Kofoed killed him in December of that year in Rønne and captured the day after the castle.
It was Villum Clausen who
killed the Governor.
Then they offered the island
to the Danish king.
And now some amazing pictures of
the beautiful enviroment surrounding
this castle place 😍 I could look
at this FOREVER!
Hammershus is situated on a 74
meter high cliff and occupies with its
hidden an area of approximately
35,000 square meters.
The ring walls have a length of
about 750 meters. In the northwest
corner you will find a pond that
may have provided the castle
with fresh water.
Towards the sea there are steep cliffs
and to the other sides difficult
passable, rocky terrain.
The mantle tower was erected by
Bernt Knop, who also reinforced the
fortifications that displaced two
Swedish warships with his
guns as late as 1645.
After 1576, when the castle was
again in Danish hands, it was
let down because it was eventually
regarded as an ancient fortification,
for example. because of the
firearms improvement.
It was therefore used as a state
prison for, among other things.
Corfitz Ulfeldt and Leonora Christina
Ulfeldt, who were deployed in 1660.
After their escape from the Mantel
Tower and subsequent capture,
they were placed in a dark castle
chapel, but later again in the
Blue Tower - on each floor.
In 1743 Hammershus was evacuated
and then used as a quarry, which was
used, among other things, to build the
main guard in Rønne, the last palace
priest was already in 1648 promoted
to the parish priest in Nyker. In 1822,
the castle - its ruin - was preserved.

This was such a cool experience,
and I DO recomend you to visit
Hammershus if you get
the chance 😉
I swear it is SOO worth it 😁
Amazing view right?
And this statue is a part of this ruin
history, and stands on the hill
across to the fortress.
There were also some cheeps walking around on the hill, was not expecting that to be honest 😜 lol... Cute!
And a favorite view was this spot 😍
Lots of gorgeous trees...BUT
Especially ONE tree 🌳
Caught my attention and reminds
me of the TREE OF LIFE 😍
And when you got a little closer,
this was the view you got....
Really gorgeous and so peaceful
wish I could move this to
my garden... 😁 Lol
🔹❤️🔹
It was a really beautiful day
and such a great experience to see
this historical place, and looking back
at these pictures makes me wish for
summer to come quickly 😉
wish myself back to this place!
