Introduction

The pentagonal building used to be a defense fortification in Northern Europe and is now a modern military base in Denmark. It is a prominent landmark that can be easily recognized on maps. Located next to the Little Mermaid statue, it is a place that visitors must pass to reach the Little Mermaid. Due to its military nature, tourists are only allowed to tour and admire the architecture in public areas and take photos, while following the prescribed signs and instructions.
