The Round Tower
Lookout Tower – Observatory – Exhibitions – Concerts
The Round Tower in Copenhagen is one of the best-known and most popular structures in Denmark. From here, you can spot most of the city's famous buildings.
Once university astronomers studied the stars and planets from the Observatory at the top. Today visitors are able to gaze at the cosmos from Europe's oldest functioning observatory.
Halfway up the tower is the entrance to the large and stunningly beautiful Library Hall, which now serves as a popular gallery and concert venue. It hosts several exhibitions a year, and stages concerts almost every week.
Above the Library is the Bell Loft, notable for its enormous wooden beams, which were used in the reconstruction of the Tower following the great fire of Copenhagen in 1728.
The Round Tower was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642. It was the first part of the Trinitatis Complex, which combined church, library and observatory in a single building.
