Ørstedsparken, Public park in central Copenhagen, Denmark
This green space features an elongated lake formed from former fortress moats, with small hills marking the locations of past defensive bastions.
Created in 1879 on the grounds of Copenhagen's decommissioned fortification ring, the park was designed by landscape architect Henrik August Flindt.
The park commemorates Danish brothers Hans Christian Ørsted, who discovered electromagnetism, and Anders Sandøe Ørsted, through dedicated monuments and statues.
The 6.5-hectare park includes two playgrounds, public grills, a café pavilion, and seven entrances accessible from surrounding major streets.
During spring, 26,000 Dutch crocuses bloom in blue, yellow, and white near the H.C. Ørsted monument, planted as a post-World War II addition.
