Nyborg Castle is located near the center of Nyborg city, and is surrounded by fortifications, the 'castle lake' and a moat that run along the center of the city. The castle if first mentioned in 1193, when [[Canute VI of Denmark|Canute VI]] held a meeting in it. Before then, the king were housed in Hjulby, outside Nyborg, and the castle was established in that period. A [[Curtain wall (fortification)|curtain wall]] was built, and there has likely been several wooden buildings within the walls. In the first half of the 1200s, a building was constructed in two floors, much of which still remain today. The king likely held his meetings in the upper floor of this construction. During the 1300s and 1400s, the castle was improve upon, with a new floor and several new buildings. In 1282, [[Eric V of Denmark|Eric V]] completed the [[constitution of Denmark]] in Nyborg Castle. In 1287, Eric V's alleged murderers were sentenced on the castle. In the 1520s, [[Frederick I of Denmark|Frederick I]] planned to make Nyborg his official residence, but that never happened. Signs of his plans were obvious, however, with major projects on the castle planned.<ref>[http://www.nyborgslot.dk/udforsk/nyborg-slots-historie/middelalderen/ Nyborgslot.dk] "Middelalderen" Retrieved 18 April 2019</ref>

After the Dano-Swedish War, where the castle was captured and later turned into an armory, the importance of the castle fell. The garrison was disestablished in 1913. The castle was turned into a museum, which it has been since then. In 2017, a large project to renovate and expand the museum was begun, with plans to finish in 2023.<ref>[http://www.nyborgslot.dk/udforsk/nyborg-slots-historie/restaurering/ Nyborgslot.dk] "Restaurering" Retrieved 18 April 2019</ref>

The fortifications, ramparts and moats surrounding Nyborg Castle stretch out along the center of the city. The moats appear as they did in the Middle Ages, with the same water regulation systems still in use. Three of the original bulwarks still exist, with the remaining having been torn down during city expansions. Two of those bulwarks are located around Nyborg Castle, and are known as ''the Queen's Bulwark (Danish: Dronningens Bastion)'' and ''the Crown Prince's Bulwark (Danish: Kronprinsens Bastion)''. Those are surrounded by the original ramparts, which today act as park areas. On the Queen's Bulwark is a water tower from 1899, built by Emil Swanenflügel. The water tower was protected in 1997. The third bulwark is called ''Prince Carl's Bulwark (Danish: Prins Carls Bastion)'', and is slightly smaller. It also acts as a park area.<ref>[http://www.nyborgslot.dk/planlaeg-besoeg/kalender/2017/nyborg-faestning-og-volde/ Nyborgslot.dk] "Nyborg Fæstning og Volde" Retrieved 21 April 2019</ref><ref>[http://www.nyborgfaestning.dk/8-vandt%C3%A5rnet.html Nyborgfaestning.dk] "Vandtårnet" Retrieved 21 April 2019</ref>
