Round Tower Dome Lifted Down For Restoration

The three-ton copper dome atop Rundetaarn is lifted down by crane to allow new copper roofing to be installed in Copenhagen, Denmark, on January 12, 2026. After nearly 60 years of exposure to wind and weather, the observatory's copper roof begins to leak, making restoration of the dome necessary. The aim is to future-proof the observatory and the tower itself, ensuring that King Christian IV's historic ''Star Castle'' can be preserved and experienced by future generations.
