History
The castle was founded in 1313 by the Danish king Erik Menved (Erik VI). It was one of at least four similar strongholds in Jutland, constructed to counter the ongoing rebellions of the Jutlandic nobility and peasantry against the Crown. The other strongholds were Borgvold in Viborg, Bygholm in Horsens and Ulstrup, east of Struer. All were built by local peasants forced labour, with the goal of breaking their rebellious spirits. Kalø Slot was raised on the small island of Kalø, connected to the mainland by a 500 m long artificial embankment, rising 1,2 m above sea level. The embankment was cobbled; deep moatswere dug and earth mounds heaped around the fortress. A port of call, outer ringwalls and other fortifications were all built by hand. This was a colossal task in the early 14th century.
The castle of Kalø was successful in its original purpose, but already in 1320 the new king Christoffer II, was forced by the Danish nobility in a coronation charter to tear it down, along with most of the Crown's fortresses in Jutland. It is not clear how much of the castle was actually torn down, but the Crown definitely lost its grip on Kalø and it was mortgaged. From the 15th century and onwards, Kalø had a more peaceful role, as the local administrative center and state prison. King Christian II held the future Swedish king Gustav Vasa captive at Kalø during 1518-1519, until he escaped and fled to Lübeck, disguised as a common peasant.
When King Frederick III converted the elective monarchy into an absolute monarchy in the revolution of 1660 in Denmark, Kalø Slot lost its function. The buildings had fallen into decay under the Swedish occupation during the wars between Sweden and Denmark in the years 1643 to 1645. In 1662, Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve, Count of Laurvig, decided to tear down the abandoned ruin when he received it from his father, Frederick III. The useful materials were used to build his private palace in Copenhagen, now called the Charlottenborg Palace.
Kalø and Kalø Slot were declared protected as early as the 1800s (decade), and the restoration process was initiated in the year 1903, led by architect C. M. Smidt from the National Museum of Denmark. A memorial stone with his name has been placed next to the riding ground. The restoration proceeded through World War II, when the German marines used Kalø as a target for gunboat shooting practice. Fortunately, the ruins were only slightly damaged.
Today, Kalø and Kalø Slot are owned by the Danish State and are protected. In 2009 the area was incorporated into the Mols Bjerge National Park.
Etymology
The peninsula with the castle ruin is named 'Kalø' - 'Kal' has hitherto been written as 'Kalf' and is probably an older version of the modern Danish word 'Kalv' meaning calf, and 'ø' - meaning, island, in Danish. It is unclear if the island was named calf-island, because peasants used to send their cattle there, or if the small island was poetically perceived as a calf lying next to the mainland, representing the cow. This later use of the word calf has been quite common in Denmark and was often applied when a smaller island was placed next to a larger one. The island is a natural formation. In Lillebælt between Jutland and Fyn a small island is likewise called, Fænø Kalv - calf of the bigger island, Fænø.

Rønde
Rønde (or Roende) is a town on the southern part of the peninsula, Djursland in Denmark, Northern Europe, 23 kilometers north-east of the north end of Denmark’s second largest city, Århus. It is in part a pendler town to Århus, with a motorway entering Århus from the north. Rønde is located between Århus, and Århus Airport with a 12 kilometer drive from Rønde to the airport.
Rønde is placed in hilly country overlooking Århus Bay with 2.5 kilometers to the bay and the marina, Nappedam. The closest sandy beach for swimming lies in Følle Strand, 3.4 kilometers from Rønde.
Rønde has a population of 2.818 as of January 2014
Geography and Climate
Rønde is a hill town, with a 95 meter difference in elevation between the lowest and highest part. This kind of grade difference is unusual for Denmark, where the overall highest point in the country is 172 meters above sea level.
Rønde has a temperate coastal climate with an average summer temperature in July of 20 degrees Celsius in the day, and 12 degrees at night, and an average winter temperature in January with 5 degrees in the day and 1 degree at night (1961 – 1990) [2] The average precipitation is 722 millimeters per year,[2] making relatively flat Denmark well suited for farming. Barley, wheat, canola, and in recent years corn, are common crops in the farmland surrounding Rønde as well as in the rest of Denmark.
Education
There is a public and a private primary school in Rønde, as well as a high school with boarding. Rønde also has a vocational school with a number of lines related to crafts, commerce and computer oriented specializations.
Rønde has also got a Folk High School and an Efterskole. The two later are types of boarding schools, that young people in Denmark can choose optionally, typically for a year, to cultivate special interests such as sports and aspects of culture, such as theatre, or as a means of strengthening their academic skill. Often as a break before continuing in the more mainstream education system.
A neighboring smaller town, Ugelbølle, has got a recently established private primary school, Ugelbølle Friskole. Ugelbølle has also got an industrial area, and a newer residential neighborhood dominated by over the average priced housing. All of the houses have a view of over Århus Bay. Ugelbølle lies 1.5 kilometer from the western outskirts of Rønde. The two towns are likely to merge in the coming years.
Another private primary school close to Rønde is Syddjurs Friskole 5.8 kilometers from Rønde.
Århus University has got a bioscience department at the Kalø Estate just east of Rønde.
Commerce[edit]
The main road through Rønde is also a route from the city of Århus to residential and summer house areas on the southern part of the peninsula, Djursland. Also therefore Rønde is a local shopping centre. There are a number of shops, supermarkets, trades, crafts and restaurants in the town.

Kalø Slotsruin
Ved foden af Nationalpark Mols Bjerges bakkede istidslandskab ligger Kalø Slotsruin på en banke i Kalø Vig. Ruinen er en af Danmarks bedst bevarede middelalderborge og er beviset på et tidligere kongeslot, grundlagt af Erik Menved i starten af 1300-tallet. Borgen blev placeret på en ø i vigen som blev landfast gennem opførelsen af en dæmning, og Kalø er et eksempel på, hvordan mennesket har udnyttet den landskabelige situation til fulde.
I starten af forrige århundrede startede Nationalmuseet et større restaureringsarbejde for at sikre resterne af borgen, og i løbet af de næste 100 år blev slotsruinen genstand for flere restaureringsarbejder. I det kommende år kan Kalø Slotsruin fejre 700 års fødselsdag.
Kalø Slotsruin er en af Danmarks bedst bevarede middelalderborge, og blev grundlagt af kong Erik Menved i starten af 1300-tallet. I dag er ruinen et yndet udflugtsmål, og nu er en ny dimension blevet tilføjet til oplevelsen af områdets spektakulære landskab og ruinens 700 årige historie.
