On 2 July 2026, Queen Margrethe of Denmark visited Nyborg Castle, a restored medieval royal residence located in the town of Nyborg on the Danish island of Funen. Since 2016, the Queen has served as patron of the "Nyborg Castle – Christiansborg of the Middle Ages" project. Upon her arrival, Queen Margrethe was welcomed by Mette Ladegaard Thøgersen, Director of the East Funen Museums, and Kenneth Muhs, Mayor of Nyborg Municipality.
The visit began in the castle's fully restored King's Wing, where the Queen toured Christian III's Knights' Hall, the Danehof Hall and the Nordic Hall. She was introduced to the restoration of these three historic rooms—collectively known as the Halls of Power—as well as to the interpretive project "The King Is Coming."
The exhibitions in these historic rooms highlight key moments in Danish history. The Danehof Hall presents the sealing of King Eric Klipping's Charter of 1282, which is also regarded as Denmark's first constitution. The Nordic Hall focuses on the Danehof of 1377, where Queen Margaret I proclaimed her son, Olaf, King of Denmark, laying the foundations for the Kalmar Union, which united Denmark, Norway and Sweden under one crown.
