New Copenhagen:
On this walk we will visit New Copenhagen – a vision of an expanded Copenhagen to double size by King Christian 4 (1588-1648). From 1604 the king began buying large areas east and north of the old city to Øresund and the entrance of Copenhagen Harbour. Here he builded a fortress Sct Annae Skanse with 3 bastions from 1626-40 and started building ramparts, bastions and moats north, east, west and south (Christianhavn 1620-24) of Copenhagen.
