| Kastellet
- Old Fortress, part 2 |
Kastellet, located in
Copenhagen, Denmark is one of the best preserved star fortresses
in Northern Europe. It is constructed in the form of a pentagram
with bastions at its corners. Kastellet was continuous with the
ring of bastioned ramparts which used to encircle Copenhagen but
of which only the ramparts of Christianshavn remain today. A
number of buildings are located within the grounds of Kastellet,
including a church as well as a windmill. The area houses various
military activities but it mainly serves as a public park and a
historic site.
