Christianshavns Mound is part of Copenhagen's old defense system. It is now an excellent area for a walk surrounded by green and water, passing a number of historical buildings, cafes and restaurants. Christianshavns Mound was built by Christian IV in 1618-23 and was further developed in the following centuries. The defense purpose ceased towards the end of the 19th century and public access to the area was successively established in 1961.

As one of the great contemporary museums of Copenhagen it gives space to large-scale modern installations. Can be well combined with a visit to the Reffen food court area next to it.
