Christianshavns Vold, Historic rampart park in Christianshavn, Denmark

Christianshavns Vold features extensive earthworks with twelve bastions, connected by a network of paths alongside a canal called Stadsgraven.

The fortification construction began under King Christian IV in the 1600s and expanded between 1682 and 1692 with seven additional bastions named after royalty.

The northern section forms part of Freetown Christiania while the southern portion functions as a municipal park hosting exhibitions and concerts.

Visitors can access both sections of the park via the Dyssebroen footbridge, with numerous benches and tables available throughout the green spaces.

The Lion's Bastion contains Lille Mølle, an original windmill from the 18th century that now operates as a house museum.

Location: Copenhagen Municipality

Inception: 1918
