The Round Tower

starting at €90.00

Completed in 1642, the complex comprising the round tower, the church, and the chapel is one of Copenhagen’s most impressive buildings. It houses Denmark’s oldest library, as well as one of Europe’s oldest observatories—still in operation—and a small planetarium. The top of the tower is not reached by a staircase, but by a unique spiral passageway. This allowed books to be transported to the library and heavy, delicate equipment to the observatory via horse-drawn carts.

PEOPLE´S ERA – A journey to the origins of stories

The earliest signs of human activity are likely stone tools, arrowheads, and clothing made of leather and animal and plant fibers. The oldest structures, on the other hand, are simple shelters or monuments dedicated to the cycle of the sun, ancestors, or gods. Every upright stone, mound, and wall tells the story of people who lived thousands of years before us, their hardships, and their hopes. They are not just ruins but fragments of a shared history.
