From Wikipedia

Kastellet (Danish pronunciation: [kʰæˈsteˀlð̩]; transl. "The Citadel") is a citadel located in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is one of the best preserved fortresses in Northern Europe. It is constructed in the form of a pentagon with bastions at its corners. Kastellet was continuous with the ring of bastioned ramparts which used to encircle Copenhagen but of which only the ramparts of Christianshavn remain today.
