Traveling the World #114 (Europe Series) - Kastellet & St. Alban's Church @ Copenhagen, Denmark

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

Hi Steemians,

Today we will be visiting Kastellet at Copenhagen, Denmark. Kastellet is the most well-preserved star fortress in Northern Europe. I’ve never been to a star fortress before and it was a must visit for our few days in Denmark. As we walked around the fortress, you can see a few sites including St. Alban's Church.

As you may have noticed from the below picture, we arrived just before 4pm in the afternoon and the fortress was about to close. Massive fail with our planning as we took too long looking at things along the way and the sun was setting. As we were in Denmark in late autumn, the weather was cold, the sun sets earlier and many attractions close earlier. So if you are traveling to Denmark, do keep this in mind when planning as it's not fun trying to cram as many sites as possible in a few days. In the summer months, attractions open later which gives visitors more time to visit each destination.

The fortress apart from the star-shaped, it was like many fortresses we have seen previously. I was eager to see St. Alban's Church so we made sure we get to see it from the outside even though it was closed. St. Alban's Church is known as the English Church and the reason why I wanted to see it was it reminds me of a Lego castle. I love Lego as many of you know so it was good to see it from afar.

As we walked around, we can see different scenery on the other side of the river. We also saw this really cute bird with nice shiny feathers. I rarely take photos of birds but this one really caught my attention.

大家好,今我們參觀在哥本哈根的卡斯特雷特和聖阿爾班教堂。 卡斯特雷特是在哥本哈根一座星型要塞。 之前看過很多要塞但星型的是第一次所以來到哥本哈根我覺得是應該來看看。在其中一張相片可以看到,我們到達的時候已經差不多下午4點所以要塞要快關門。之前都有提過大家,因為我們到丹麥的時候差不多是冬天,太陽早落山而且很多景點都會早關門所以去旅遊的時候好主意這一點。原路看到不同東西而最期待的就是遠遠看聖阿爾班教堂。我第一眼在網上看到這座教堂就覺得很像一座樂高教堂所以來到要塞就很想看看。到最後,看見一隻鳥,羽毛很亮很漂亮所以拍一張相片(我們很少拍鳥的哈哈). 天開始黑啦,要回家。
