The Round Tower

a section of one of the pieces
currently on display.
The Round Tower in Copenhagen was built as an astronomical observatory.  It is connected to the Trinitatis Church.  You reach the top of the tower by a ramp, not a stair case, which makes the height  much easier to ascend.  The interesting part, from an art point of view, is that an art gallery is reached from the tower.  The gallery is in the roof space of the church which used to hold a University Library.  The gallery space is large, light and airy. There were some very good contemporary art works on display and I recommend you visit if ever you are in town.
