Nyboders Mindestuer

Nyboder was another one of King Christian IV’s building projects. The Danish fleet grew excessively during his reign, and more housing was needed. This particular area was built to house navy privates and their families.

The Citadel was first an idea and built by King Christian IV. It is one of the best-preserved fortresses in Northern Europe and the oldest military bastion still in use.
