Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, A Story From the Sand-hills, part 2, sentence 64

And so indeed it happened a hundred years later, for the North Sea broke in and cast down the tower; but Predbjorn Gyldenstjerne, the man who then possessed the castle, built a new castle higher up at the end of the meadow, and that one is standing to this day, and is called Norre-Vosborg.

Who acts: it, North Sea, man, Predbjorn, one · What happens: happen, break in, cast down, possess, build, stand · To what, where: tower, castle, new castle · Speech: someone speaks here
