The Round Tower (Rundetårn)
 

Description

Built in 1637-1642, the Round Tower was originally an observatory connected to Trinitatis Church, but is now one of Copenhagen's best-known landmarks. King Christian IV's monogram is displayed on the building, as is a beautiful lattice designed by Kasper Fincke. Tower visitors can see a mysterious inscription by Christian IV. The top of the tower offers fantastic views over the city's rooftops. Be sure to check the timings for the visits as it remains closed in certain months during the year and the timings tend to change accordingly.

Going round and round and round
By Stephan, 7/27/04
This tower is just funny, it was constructed by king Christian IV and he wanted to be able to ride on his horse to the top of the tower. So that means: no stairs, just the floor spiraling all the way up. From the top there's lots of place to enjoy the fresh air and the view over Copenhagen.
The planetary observatory on the top is occasionally open for the public.

Trivia fact: H.C. Andersen's fairy tale of the Witch and the Soldier refers to this tower: the third dog in the fairy tale is described as having eyes as big as Copenhagen's Round Tower.
