Monuments to visit Denmark

A 1960 th century castle, which has the particularity of being acquired by a Catholic religious order in. A convent was consecrated in 1992 and baptized to the glory of Mary in 1998, which is a first in Scandinavia since Reform (Faroe Islands excepted)! The hotel is now a hotel with restaurant. Weddings, concerts, photo sessions and exhibitions are organised throughout the year (full program on the website).

Copenhagen's Central Station has a lot to impress with its Viking castle look. As the nerve centre of the rail and urban transport network, apart from this functional aspect, it deserves that we take the time to look at it! Designed by Heinrich Wenck in 1911, its architectural style echoes the town hall beyond Tivoli Park. Medieval historicist influences, the modernity of its hall, its 12 quays covered by a metal frame.

The iceberg is an apartment building located in the port, near the city centre. This complex offers owners an optimal view of the sea from the apartments. The intersecting points make the building look like a floating iceberg.

Charlottenborg Palace, built from 1672 onwards, owes its name to Queen Mother Charlotte Amalie who bought it in 1699. After the death of its owner, it was assigned to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts as a library (still active). Beyond the inner courtyard, a second building, opening onto Nyhavn, houses the Kunsthal Charlottenborg, a centre for contemporary art. Temporary exhibitions are organized all year round, rather sharp in their approach!

Donated by the Nordea Foundation to the city of Copenhagen and inaugurated in August 2015, the bridge was designed by homegrown architect Olafur Eliasson. Five circular platforms of varying sizes, each dominated by its own mast, offer passersby and bicycles an alternative route. Illuminated at night, pivoting to let boats in and out, this work is a masterpiece that is part of the local urban development plan.
