Going back to the old stuff I'll like to present
Christiansborg Castle home of the Danish Parliament and some of the Royal chambers for ceremonial events..
The spot it's located on ( and island called
Slotsholmen ) is the exact same spot as the founder of Copenhagen
Bishop Absalon buildt his first castle on in 1170 to protect his city..
At that time the island were a lot more isloated than it is today, where it's now a key transportation area for the city with bridges going to the islands both Zealand and Amager..
The current castle are relatively new as for some reason the castles have a tendency of burning down to a point where it's not even funny anymore - latest in 1992 where an emergency flare made a large part of the roof burn down..
The low building infront with the turning spirer is the old stock exchange
Børsen from 1620 now home to the camber of commerce
The Christianborg spire is 106m tall - exactly as high as the city hall and the two towers are the tallest structures in the Copenhagen municipal
