| Ørsted
Park |
Ørstedsparken is a
public park in central Copenhagen. One in a series of parks which
were laid out on the grounds of the old fortification ring after
it was decommissioned in the 1870s, the park still retains
elements from the old fortifications in its topography, a section
of the moat now serve as an elongated lake and former bastions
appear in the landscape as small hills. The park is named for the
brothers Ørsted, the politician and jurist Anders Sandøe
Ørsted and the physicist Hans Christian Ørsted, who both are
commemorated with monuments in the park.
