Even MORE on Elsinor

Sorry to drag this out, but apparently you can only have a limited number of pics per post!

Inside the living quarters they had a fair amount of original (post-fire) paintings, tapestries, and furniture. Here is an example of a dining room. I thought that the table they put in there was a bit silly! The room was enormous as the chandelier indicates, and they placed a puny four-seater in there. Anyway, it does give some effect of what it may have been like.



They also had several displays of clothing styles from the era. Both Jared and I thought that this dress was reminiscent of my wedding dress. Thankfully the man's outfit is nothing like what Jared wore!









The only part of the castle to survive the fire was the church, which is all still original and vibrant with its paintings and oodles of goldleaf. The church is still used about once a month and for some special occasions. There was an area in the balcony (to the left of this picture) where the royal family would have sat.




I liked seeing all the fishing boats too... Here's one that must be loaded with fish judging by the bird population on their tail! I still haven't tried the pickled herring, but I'm sure I won't escape it much longer, especially because Christmas is coming!
