Rundetaarn and Trinitatis Kirke (Copenhagen, Denmark)

The Round Tower (or Rundetårn in Danish) is a 17th-century tower in Copenhagen, one of the many architectural projects of King Christian IV of Denmark. Built as an astronomical observatory, it is noted for its equestrian staircase, a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the platform at the top (114.17 feet above ground), and its views over the Danish capital. The tower was built in Dutch Baroque style from 1637 to 1642.

The Trinitatis Church (or Trinitatis Kirke in Danish) was also built in the time of King Christian IV. The church initially served the students of the university. Situated at the corner of Landemærket and Købmagergade, the interior was seriously damaged in the fire of 1728 but was rebuilt in 1731 using Northern Gothic-Baroque style.

The tower is part of the Trinitatis Complex which also includes a chapel, the Trinitatis Church, and an academic library, which were the first facilities of the Copenhagen University Library founded in 1482.

Copenhagen (København in Danish) is the capital and most populous city of Denmark, with a population of around 660,000 in the municipality and 1.4 million in the urban area in the 2020s. The city is on the islands of Zealand and Amager, separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the Øresund strait. The Øresund Bridge connects the two cities by rail and road.

Originally a Viking fishing village established in the 10th century in the vicinity of what is now Gammel Strand, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century.
