1. Lego House
A huge building that combines Lego and hi-tech. Kjaald Kirk Christiansen, the grandson of Lego founder Ole Kirk Christiansen wanted to gather all the ideas and creations of his family in one house that would activate the imagination, the desire and the passion of people to play with Lego.
The house includes several areas of experience:
-
Red for creativity
-
Blue for cognitive abilities
-
Green for friendships
-
Yellow for the world of emotions,
The Lego House is a huge play area for children, a hall for Lego fans who publish their creations, and also a unique basement, where there is a history of Lego.
Every visitor receives a bracelet at the entrance to the house, and there is an electronic station in every corner. When you attach the bracelet to it, you can see where we are, what we have done so far, where we can go and even what characters we have built.
So, we built characters, made a movie, played with Lego and played with Lego again.

6. Agaskov Castle
A castle located in the south of Finn Island, Denmark. Most of the Danish nobility built their houses as fortresses. The castle is located in a small lake whose maximum depth reaches 5 meters. Originally, the only entrance to it was with the help of a drawbridge.
According to the legend, an entire forest of oaks was required to build the foundations, hence the castle's name, Agaskov, which means "forest of oaks."
The castle is made of two buildings connected by a thick double wall, which allows its defenders to abandon one house and continue fighting from the other house. The double wall is a meter thick and contains a well and hidden staircases. The defenders could attack the enemy lines from two round-corner towers. Other medieval defenses include loopholes.
You can easily spend half a day in the castle. There are a large number of displays of cars, motorcycles, a helicopter, and two airplanes that until now I did not understand the connection to the place.

The statue was commissioned by Carl Jacobsen after seeing a ballet adaptation of the story and sculpted by Edvard Eriksen. The face was modeled after ballerina Ellen Price, and the body after Eriksen’s wife, Eline.
Although only about 1.25 meters tall, the statue has become a symbol of Copenhagen and Danish culture.
