Historical Fortifications and Mills

This collection highlights the diverse historical landscape north of Copenhagen, featuring the late 19th-century fortifications of the Copenhagen Defense Line, such as Garderhøj Fort and Fortunfortet. It includes the industrial heritage of the Mølleåen river with its preserved water mills in Kongens Lyngby, alongside royal residences like the Eremitage and Bernstorff palaces. Archaeological sites, including the Hjortholm medieval castle mound and ancient burial tumuli like Lindehøj, offer a glimpse into Denmark’s prehistoric and medieval past.
