The Trinitatis Church is built together with The Round Tower and completed in 1656, which were several years after the Round Tower was inaugurated by King Christian IV in 1642. The loft was used as a library for the University until 1861. Trinitatis Church altarpiece and pulpit originates from 1756-67. In 1728 the church was damaged by a fire and was rebuilt again in 1731. Under the Choir there is a tomb where many prominent persons buried.

The Round Tower (Rundetaarn) was built by Christian IV between 1657 and 1642. It is Europe's oldest functioning observatory. From 34.8m above the street a viewing platform runs around the observatory, overlooking Copenhagen's old Latin Quarter. A unique, whitewashed helical corridor leads to the top of the tower, and also provides access to the Biblioteksai (library), where exhibitions and concerts are held throughout the year.
