A pentagonal star fortress begun in 1626 and completed in 1664, one of the best-preserved fortresses in northern Europe. It is still owned by the Danish Ministry of Defence and houses military units, while the grassed ramparts, ochre barracks rows, the 1704 Kastelskirken and an 1847 working Dutch windmill are open as a public park. Entry to the grounds is free.
