Welcome to Danehof 2023

The year is 1377 and Queen Margrete I is on her way to Nyborg with her son Oluf, the chosen king of Denmark and Norway.

It is in Nyborg that Danehof is to be held, and the whole kingdom has come together in order to welcome their new regents.

What will happen at Danehof? Will the nobility and the church support Margrethe's guardianship and the young Oluf?

Danehof at Nyborg Castle

In the Middle Ages, the Danish king met with his parliament, Danehoffet, in Nyborg. Now Nyborg is holding the Danehof again. The town buzzes with life, just as it did when the king and his men met for the Danehof. There will be longships, processions, battles, stalls, culinary delights, music and entertainment for children and adults alike all weekend.
