Kastellet (The Citadel)
One of the best preserved fortresses in Northern Europe. It is constructed in the form of a pentagon with bastions at its corners.
The Citadel was founded by Danish King Christian 4 in 1626.
It was completed until the mid-1640s, shortly after King Frederick III succeeded King Christian IV.
Today, the buildings inside the Citadel are used as military barracks and offices. However, the area is open to the public.
