Christian IV's Copenhagen, 1650
Copenhagen in 1650 is the builder-king's newly enlarged harbour city, ringed by earth ramparts, bastions and windmills and marked by recent royal and mercantile works. Walkers will see Christian IV's major projects—Rosenborg and the King's Garden, the Round Tower and Trinitatis complex, the dragon‑tailed spire of the Børsen—and the everyday harbour streets, dockyards and navy rows where sailors, craftsmen and merchants keep the port alive.
34 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Copenhagen as it stood in 1650 (“History of Copenhagen”).
