Rundetårn, Copenhagen - Denmark - Look-Out Towers on Waymarking.com

Rundetaarn blev bygget af Christian 4. mellem 1637 og 1642. Tårnet er første del af Trinitatis Komplekset, der forenede kirke, bibliotek og observatorium i en bygning. Rundetaarns Sneglegang er enestående i europæisk arkitektur. Den 209 meter lange spiralrampe snor sig 7½ gang omkring tårnets hule kerne op til stentrapperne, der fører det sidste stykke vej til udsigtsplatformen.
Sneglegangen er den eneste forbindelse mellem tårn og Bibliotekssal/Ringerloft og tårn og kirke.'

The Round Tower was built by Christian IV between 1637 and 1642. It was the first part of the Trinitatis Complex, which combined church, library and observatory in a single building.

The Round Tower does not have an elevator, so visitors have to climb the winding, white-washed Spiral Walk, where kids often hide in the niches, only to jump out shouting “boo!” as adults approach.
The spiral walk is unique in European architecture. The 209 m long spiral ramp winds itself 7,5 times round the hollow core of the tower, forming the only connection between the individual parts of the building complex.
