The Round Tower
The Round Tower is part of the Trinitatis Complex, which consists of Trinitatis Church, adjacent to the tower, the University Library on the floor above the church, and the observatory at the top of the tower.
An iconic landmark
The impressive tower on one of Copenhagen's oldest shopping streets originally served as an observatory, but today, astronomers have long since left the tower. However, the observatory is still frequently used by amateur astronomers who utilize the tower to observe stars, as well as by the tower's many guests who are captivated by the fantastic view over Copenhagen.
Standing majestically at 35 meters above Købmagergade, the Round Tower offers visitors a unique experience. The spiral ramp, winding 7½ times around the tower's hollow core, leads all the way to the top of the tower. Halfway up the Round Tower, visitors can access the Library Hall, which hosts rotating exhibitions and cultural events, as well as offering the opportunity to purchase coffee and souvenirs. From the top of the tower, a charming view of Copenhagen unfolds, where one can enjoy the sight of the city's rooftops and landmarks or visit the small observatory in the center.
The Round Tower is part of Copenhagen's rich history and symbolizes the city's ability to unite past grandeur with present innovation. It stands not only as an impressive architectural structure but also as a symbol of Copenhagen's history and cultural heritage, continuing to attract visitors from around the world.
