I have used a Danish coin as my base and a pendant which I like very much, an industrial looking cube with a pearl attached to it. By chance I had the little lights out on my table so I thought I'd use them too.

From the chapel at the Renaissance castle Kronborg in Helsingør, Denmark. The chapel was inaugurated in 1582. 200 years later the castle was turned into military barracks, the interior fittings were stored away and the space used as a gymnasium(!). But the items were kept, and in 1838 they were reinstated in their original place and there they remain to this day.

Kaalund Monastery (Kaalund Kloster): It was built as a Franciscan monastery in 1239. The monks were kicked out in 1532. The present building is from 1751 and houses municipal administration.
Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot) is a palatial complex in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway in the early 17th century, replacing an older castle acquired by Frederick II and becoming the largest Renaissance residence in Scandinavia. Situated on three islets in the Slotssøen (castle lake), it is adjoined by a large formal garden in the Baroque style. (Wikipedia)
Excerpt from audeladupaysage.com:
The small yellow houses of the city were built in the 18th century. They are a mixture of Danish and Dutch influences (many Dutchmen settled in the surrounding area in the 16th century to exploit farmlands).
Rundetårn Copenhagen - Denmark
No lift, no stairs!
Rundetårn (The Round Tower) is a 17th-century tower in Copenhagen. Instead of stairs, a 7.5-turn spiral ramp forms the only access way to the tower top observatory as well as the Library Hall and the Bell-Ringer's Loft.
This design was chosen to allow a horse and carriage to reach the library and observatory. So you can go rollerblading to the top of the tower.
