Welcome to the Round Tower

Welcome to the Round Tower – one of Denmark’s most famous landmarks.

It was built in 1642 by Christian IV and since then, history has been passing through the tower. At the top you can still enjoy the most charming view of the city, but today the Round Tower also hosts exhibitions, concerts and experiences for young and old.

Whether you are in the Round Tower or at home, you can listen to our short audio stories about exciting stories from the old building.

There’s one about the fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen. There’s one about the time a car tried to go up the Spiral Ramp. There’s one about the 12-year-old boy who disappeared in the tower in 1880.

And there’s even more than that! Take a look around - and enjoy!
