Kongens Nytorv

Kongens Nytorv was part of a large initiative to move the centre of the city from the medieval area around Gammeltorv to a new square with a garden complex which was inspired by the Royal city planning of Paris from the early 17th century. Surrounded by historical buildings and the Krinsen Garden Complex, the square also features a Baroque Revival old kiosk and telephone stand form 1913. The kiosk provided the first public telephonic connection in Copenhagen.
