Still sticking to the Danish King Christian IV but have skipped a few things without towers and spires,
Kristianstad is a city in Sweden
Heliga Trefaldighetskyrkan

The city was founded in 1614 by King Christian IV of Denmark, the city's name literally means 'Town of Christian', The purpose of the town was to guard the eastern half of the Danish province of Scania against any future raids from Sweden, but also as a symbol of the power of Christian himself.

Construction of the towns was a great prestige project for the king, and Kristianstad's church (Danish: Trefoldighedskirken; Swedish: Heliga Trefaldighetskyrkan) is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful buildings constructed by King Christian IV, or even northern Europe's most beautiful Renaissance church.
Please note the flowers in front of the church

Now it is all back double even. How can that happen???
So now I was told this:
Flood Prevention: You must wait 16 minutes before making another post in a row to this thread.
Why could I flood before?

@saab,
It happens to me too sometimes - all very mysterious, and all very irritating!

@RexRed,
Right, it's a fortification tower in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in Morocco.

Regensen (original Latin name: Collegium Domus Regiæ) is a dormitory for students at the University of Copenhagen and Technical University of Denmark. It is situated in the heart of the old city and is a neighbour to Rundetårn. It was inaugurated 1 July 1623, but it burned down along with the rest city in the Great Fire of Copenhagen in 1728. It was, however, rebuilt the same year.

It is the second oldest of the old dormitories of the University of Copenhagen, and many old student traditions live on making the place very lively. Students of the University of Copenhagen and the Danish Technical University (DTU), who have completed two years of studies and have an average grade of at least 7 (in the Danish grading system), can be considered for admission to one of its 99 rooms.

One room is traditionally reserved for an applying foreign exchange student, who can occupy it for one year.
