About
The great builder of Copenhagen King Christian IV laid the first stone of the fabulous Round Tower in 1637, and the 36 metre high tower was completed as an observatory 1642.
The tower is connected to the Trinitatis church building in the old Latin quarter and right in the heart of Copenhagen.

The Round Tower is built with a 210 metre long spiral stairway, which leads to the top.
In 1716, the royal Empress Katharina drove up to the top of the Tower in
a horse carriage, with her husband Peter The Great in front, on horseback, to enjoy the beautiful view over Copenhagen.

On the top of the Round Tower there is an exquisite view over the old part of Copenhagen and visitors can see some of King Christian IV's buildings like Rosenborg Castle - Børsen (Old stock exchange), Nyboder etc.
At this pictorial viewpoint the Cathedral "Our Lady" and the Town hall building is placed right in front.
