 The palace itself spanned over a 80x75m piece of ground - about the size of Kronborg Castle, and a bit bigger than Sønderborg Castle.Shortly after the completion of Hansborg, it was decided that the castle should be called by the original name, Haderslevhus—presumably to follow the old systematic naming of castles in trade cities at the time.So, actually, the castle was only called Hansborg in the short period of time between 1562 and about 1590.
