Pretty sure they have some cool castles in denmark. They did at one point at least, around the early 1600's I know they had castles with batteries around their straits to enforce tolls for ships passing through, the monarchies main source of income.

    They also did a lot of work with water management to control/reduce flooding. Once upon a time they had a bunch of coastal marshland and seasonal floodlands but invested significantly in infrastructure and solved that back in the medieval age.

    Yeah they are super low, like they don't have hills to speak of and are really flat and close to the sea. They would have to, although you never hear about them like the netherlands in that regard. Not sure if they are included in "the low countries," people mention, but I didn't think so, but they are.
