In the middle of Bornholm stands the Rytterknægten, sticking up out of the surrounding forest. The 162-metre tower is the highest point on the island and was built in 1856 to commemorate the visit of Frederik VII and Countess Danner a few years earlier. It was later raised to its present height as the forest began to grow over the tower's head.
