The Round Tower
King Frederik II and Tycho Brahe
King Frederik II (1534-1588 -- ruled Denmark and Norway 1559 - 1588) was the first Danish King, who became interested in astronomy due to the scientific work of Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) - a famous Danish nobleman and astronomer, who developed the Tychonian system - which was a complicated astrological model of the solar system. King Frederik II was very impressed with the many important observations and results conducted by Tycho Brahe - that he granted the funding to establish two observatories on the island of Hven - which was situated in the Sound between Sweden and Denmark. The new observatories was built around 1576-1580 and named Uraniborg and Stjerneborg - and the first of its type in Denmark. The new astrological research institute was equipped with a laboratory for astrological experiments and many expensive astronomical instruments for precise measurements of the universal system.
The Round Tower (Rundetårn) on Købmagergade - Copenhagen viewpoint - Copenhagen Attractions
We are at The Round Tower (Rundetårn) located on the Købmagergade walking street in the Old Town part of Copenhagen in Denmark. Rundetårn (or The Round Tower as it is called in English) is one of Copenhagen´s top tourist attractions and one of the best places to get a breathtaking 360 degree view of the City of Copenhagen (one of Copenhagen´s best, if not the best viewpoint of the city). If you continue walking down Købmagergade you will eventually reach Copenhagen´s most famous walking Street , Strøget (Stroget).
Wiki write about Rundetårn, The Rundetårn (English: Round Tower) is a 17th-century tower located in central Copenhagen, Denmark. One of the many architectural projects of Christian IV, it was built as an astronomical observatory. It is most noted for its equestrian staircase, a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the top, and for the expansive views it affords over Copenhagen.
The tower is part of the Trinitatis Complex which also provided the scholars of the time with a university chapel, the Trinitatis Church, and an academic library which was the first purpose-built facilities of the Copenhagen University Library which had been founded in 1482.
Spiral Walk
The Spiral walk leading to the top of the Round Tower is a unique piece of European architecture. This 209 meter long spiral walk winds 7 1/2 times around Rundtårns hollow core right up to the final stone stairs that lead the visitor ono the 360 degree viewing platform. This spiral walk is the buildings only connection between the tower and the library room (exhibition hall nowadays) ringer ceiling, tower and church.
Library Room
About halfway up the tower you will arrive at the Library room. The Library room is a huge 900 square meter hall which nowadays is used for exhibitions and other cultural events throughout the year. This is also where Rundetårn´s shop and café are located. Your admission ticket to the Round Tower also gives you (the visitor) access to the exhibition hall.

The Ringer Ceiling or Bell Loft is located toward the top of The Round Tower.
The impressive original timber structure is still intact and visible on Ringer Ceiling of the Library Hall, where among other things you can see the big clock from 1731, and other things from the tower and church history.

Observatory
The Observatory which lies at the top of Rundetårn (The Round Tower) is Europe´s oldest functioning observatory. It was used by the University of Copenhagen until 1861, but today anyone can visit the observatory and study the stars in the sky and planets through the telescope.

Danmark. Rundetårn 2014. København.
Kong Christian 4. opførte det højst originale bygningskompleks bestående af Trinitatis Kirke og Rundetårn. Byggeriet af tårnet blev påbegyndt i 1637, og i 1642 stod det færdigt, mens kirken først byggedes færdig i 1656
I århundredernes løb er der sket ændringer i bygningernes brug. Kirken blev sognekirke (og den husede i en årrække Vor Frue menighed, som blev hjemløs efter ødelæggelsen i 1807). I 1861 flyttedes bibliotek og observatorium til nye, mere tidssvarende bygninger på arealet på Øster Vold.
Rundetårn har (bortset fra allerøverst) ikke trapper, men en bred, spiralformet gang belagt med mursten på højkant, der fører helt op til en udsigtsplatform. Konstruktionen er formentlig valgt for at en hest med vogn kan køre op til biblioteket og næsten op til observatoriet og dermed lette transporten af både de mange bøger og de tunge astronomiske instrumenter. Tsar Peter den store af Rusland og hans hustru benyttede sig af muligheden for at komme op på denne alternative vis under deres besøg hos Frederik 4. i 1716, da de to fyrster aftalte at gøre landgang i Skåne ved hjælp af 20.000 russiske soldater, der gik i land nord for København. Felttoget blev ikke til noget, men tsaren fik redet til tops i Rundetårn på sin ganger, mens tsarinaen kom bagefter i karet. [3] En senere myte vil vide at tårnet blev bygget med trapper og først ombygget ved tsarens besøg. Det har dog intet på sig, tårnet er bygget med spiralgangen. Rundt om udsigtsplatformen på toppen står et smedejernsgitter fra 1643 lavet af Christian d. 4.s hofsmed Caspar Fincke. Det er i nyere tid blevet suppleret af et indvendigt ca. to meter højt gitter til at forhindre at folk falder eller kaster sig ud.
Fra begyndelsen var det astronomiske observatorium en vigtig del af tårnets funktion. Så berømte videnskabsmænd som Ole Rømer og Horrebow har arbejdet i observatoriet. Den forskningsmæssige brug af stedet er opgivet, men siden 1929 har der været folkeobservatorium under kuplen på tårnets top.
Tårnet er udelukkende bygget til astronomiske observatorium og fungerer ikke som kirketårn idet klokkerne hænger i en tagrytter i kirkens modsatte ende.
