The Round Tower

Rundetaarn, or the round tower, is the oldest functioning observatory in Europe and stars have been watched here since 1642. At the time when Christian the IV built the tower Denmark was quite famous for its astronomical achievements thanks to the astronomer Tycho Brahe. When he died in 1601 the King wished to continue the research of Brahe and thus the round tower came into being. Today it has been awhile since the scientists left the telescope, but the observatory is still frequently used by amateur astronomers and the many visitors of the tower.
