As it stood in 1300
The shape it held in its prime.
Hammershus stands on a rocky headland above the Baltic with roughly semicircular grey stone curtain walls forming an extended 750-metre perimeter. A dominant cylindrical 'mantel' tower rises above the inner ward; box-like residential buildings cluster within concentric rings of fortification. Continuous stone wall-walks and parapets encircle the site, while the roofs of halls and chambers sit within the walls. At its prime the complex is intact, with complete towers, battlement walks and enclosed courtyards overlooking a deep southern valley and the sea.
