Nature is brought into the city centre and the Round Tower with Janne Klerk’s series of large photographic reflections.

The Observatory is manned and the telescope operated Sundays 1-4pm from June 26th to August 7th. We are looking at the Sun through a special lense.

Here we offer a quick virtual tour to the tower platform, 34, 8 meters above street level.

Did a car really drive up the Round Tower’s Spiral Ramp? How often did the fairytale poet H.C. Andersen visit the tower? And why is there a bomb in the Library Hall? Get to know all the stories from the old tower with the new audio guide.

The 12-year-old choir boy August Nielsen fell down 25 metres when he was playing hide-and-seek one Sunday in 1880 and strayed into the hollow core in the middle of the tower. Today, one can safely step onto the glass floor in the open recess and look down into the depths that used to constitute Denmark’s zero point.
