Category:Tapestries and gobelins of Kronborg Castle

The Kronborg tapestries are a series of 43 "gobelins", made in 1581-1586 by craftsmen from the Netherlands, directed by Hans Knieper, who did the artwork. They depict 101 Danish kings. Seven tapestries are still at Kronborg and eight are at the Danish National Museum in Copenhagen.

The table canopy of Frederik 2. was also made by Hans Knieper, in 1586. Kronborg was occupied by Sweden 1658-1660 and the canopy was taken to Sweden. It normally resides at the National Museum in Stockholm, but due to rebuilding it can be seen at Kronborg 2012-2016.

In the castle are also tapesties ("gobelins") made by Jean Behagle in Beauvais ca. 1700.
