Bornholm é uma ilha dinamarquesa situada no Mar Báltico, a leste das restantes ilhas da Dinamarca, ao sul da Suécia, e ao norte da Polônia.
Fica junto à pequena ilha de Ertholmene, localizada 18 km a noroeste. Estrategicamente localizada no mar Báltico, Bornholm foi controlada pela Dinamarca na maior parte da sua história, mas também pela Suécia e por Lübeck. As ruínas do castelo Hammershus no extremo noroeste da ilha dão testemunho da sua grande importância.

Hammershus is Northern Europe's largest medieval fortification, situated 74 metres (243 ft) above sea level on Hammeren, the northern tip of the Danish island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. Erected in the 13th century, it was long believed that the castle was built as a private residence for the archbishop of Lund. However, new evidence found at the ruins of the castle suggests it was constructed in the beginning of the century as a royal residence for Valdemar II of Denmark and a base for the Danish crusades, according to Kjeld Borch Westh, superintendent of the National Museum of Denmark.
The fortification consists of the base castle residence and accompanying Mantel Tower, and includes a great stonewall stretching 750 metres (2,460 ft) around the castle grounds. Bricks found at the tower during the renovation led Westh and other experts to revise their theory on when the structure was originally constructed, moving back the date from around 1255 to the beginning of the century, when Valdemar became king.
Bornholm is a Danish island in the Baltic Sea located to the east of (most of) the rest of Denmark, the south of Sweden, and the north of Poland. The main industries on the island include fishing, arts and crafts like glass making and pottery using locally worked clay, and dairy farming. Tourism is important during the summer. The topography of the island consists of dramatic rock formations in the north(Unlike the rest of Denmark - the rest of Denmark is a very flat land, having few hills and no mountains), sloping down towards pine and deciduous forests (greatly damaged by storms in the 1950s) and farmland in the middle and sandy beaches in the south.
Strategically located in the Baltic Sea, Bornholm has been a bone of contention usually ruled by Denmark, but also by Lübeck and Sweden. The castle ruin Hammershus, on the northwestern tip of the island, is the largest medieval fortress in northern Europe, testament to the importance of its location.
Bornholm er med Christiansø og Frederiksø Danmarks østligste øer. Bornholm kaldes også for klippeøen eller solskinsøen.
