Guided tour of The Castle

Join a guided tour of the historic ruins in Vordingborg. Along the way, you’ll discover the story of the castle during its 500 years in use – as well as what came before and after.

What’s the story behind the goose? Where is Sara’s garden? Where did the king live? And what role did the Wends, Estonians and Swedes play in the history of the castle?

Please note that the tour takes place outdoors. Admission to the exhibitions is not included, but you are welcome to explore them – as well as the Goose Tower – before or after the tour.

Duration: approx. 1 hour
Price: DKK 500 per class

WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOUR VISIT

How do we book a training course?

All courses can be booked by writing to undervisning@museerne.dk.

Write which school you come from, which course you want, number of students, and date and time. You will receive a confirmation and a follow-up email with practical information when your request is accepted.
Can we visit the museum without booking a course?

Yes, but we recommend that you let us know in advance if you are coming as a larger group. This way we can ensure that there is plenty of space in the exhibitions and that other activities do not affect your visit.
What do we do if we have students with special needs?

We want to be a museum for everyone.

Please let us know about the students' needs when booking - e.g. motor challenges, need for breaks, support for communication, sensory considerations, etc. Together we will assess how to best adapt the visit.
Do students have to wear any special clothing?

Yes, for outdoor activities, students must wear weather-appropriate clothing and good shoes for walking on the castle grounds.
Can we eat packed lunches at the museum?

Yes, you are welcome to sit down on the castle grounds and eat your packed lunches there.
Is there a place to store bags and outerwear?

Yes, the museum has areas for storage. For larger groups, we recommend collecting items in shared boxes/bags.
What if we are late?

Contact the museum as soon as possible. We will adjust the process as best as possible, but in case of major delays, some parts may be omitted out of consideration for other bookings.
Can two classes come at the same time?

Yes, on several courses, two classes can participate simultaneously. It just requires that there are enough teachers involved – and that the course is suitable for double capacity. Please ask us.
Are students allowed to tour the museum on their own?

As a general rule, we expect teachers and educators to be present and responsible throughout the visit. Independent discovery can be part of the process, but always by agreement with the teacher.
Can we combine the course with a regular museum visit?

Yes, you are welcome to do so. Many teachers choose to let their students explore the exhibitions before or after the actual teaching session.
What if we have to cancel?

Contact us as soon as possible. Cancellations must generally be made no later than 48 hours before the visit. Later cancellations may be invoiced, unless there is a case of force majeure.
