Kronborg Castle, Helsingør, Denmark

Kronborg Castle (started in the 1400's) in Helsingør is the setting for "Hamlet". The historic figure Amleth lived hundreds of years before Kronborg Castle was built; however, Shakespeare obviously knew of this castle, its setting, and its importance. Although he respelled Helsingør as "Elsinore" and the historic Amleth never actually lived here, the setting of this military fortress/royal palace is perfectly suited for the story. It's across the strait from Sweden, and for centuries Denmark and Sweden waged war across the water. The fortifications are still in place.
