Rundetårn (Round Tower) stands in the center of Copenhagen by Købmagergade the main shopping street in Copenhagen. It is one of the most unusual buildings in Copenhagen. The Round Tower is 41.55 meters tall and 15 meters in diameter. The inside is a spiral ramp leading up the final pair of staircases. It was built beside Trinitatis Church in 1642 by the danish king Christian the 4th. At that time people rode up the spiral ramp on horse to the top of the tower. It was built to be an astronomic observatory used by Tych o Brache. The observatory is on of the oldest observatories that still can be used.
After the long walk up to the top if the Round tower you get rewarded with a fantastic view of Copenhagen.
