Sorry I was not writing lately. Kids in Copenhagen are very busy – school, sports and all the after school activities. But good news is that I am back!

| Star shaped island of Kastellet |
Yesterday I visited Kastellet. Kastellet is the oldest still working military barracks .It is from the 1660´s. It is shaped like a star. Kastellet even has a prison, church, powderhouse, windmill and a commander’s house. The Church at the Citadel was built in 1704 in a baroque style during the reign of King Frederik IV. There is a 20 meter wide moat and a rampart all around Kastellet, where you can have a nice walk. You have a fantastic view of the city on the hills on the star shaped island.

There is a playground on the other side of the rampart (by the Swedish Church). It is between the King´s bastion and the Prince´s bastion.
Sincerely
KIC.
