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.

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)
Copenhill is an amazing double purpose building in Copenhagen. It is a waste to energy plant with a ski slope on the roof. In summer thay serves as a hiking area. It is a testament to Denmark's modern architecture talents.
