During the [[Dano-Swedish War (1658–1660)|Dano-Swedish war of 1658–1660]], Kronborg was besieged, attacked and conquered by a Swedish army commanded by [[Carl Gustaf Wrangel]]. During the Swedish occupation, the queen of Sweden, [[Hedvig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp]] and the Swedish king's sister [[Maria Eufrosyne of Pfalz]] lived at Kronborg, where they were visited by Charles X of Sweden during the campaign and entertained the foreign ambassadors.<ref>Lundh-Eriksson, Nanna (1947).

As a result of the Swedish occupation, Kronborg was deprived of many of its most precious art works, including the richly decorated [[fountain]] in the castle courtyard, Frederick II's [[baldachin|canopy]] and a number of the large ceiling paintings commissioned by Christian IV for the ballroom.
