Vordingborg is an old ferry town in Vordingborg Municipality in Denmark. It has an inner urban area population of 11,612 (1 January 2011), and a total population of 16.000 including the satellite towns Ørslev and Nyrad. These satellite towns have evolved during the last decades, due to three large estates surrounding Vordingborg and therefore prevented a collective development of the town.
The ruins of Vordingborg Castle, the old royal castle which was built around 1364, is the town’s most famous attraction. The only fully remaining part of the castle, the 26 meter tall Goose Tower, is the symbol of the city. It is the largest of King Valdemar Atterdag’s nine main castle towers. The name comes from the golden goose perched on top of the tower’s spire. Legend has it that Valdemar Atterdag used the symbol to taunt the Hanseatic League.
