The Goose Tower of Vordingborg, a Danish landmark. The best preserved medieval tower in Scandinavia, built by Valdemar Atterdag in 1362-65. The tower is all that remains of his castle, which was his royal residence, and domicile of the kingdom, during his reign. The Goose Tower has a total height of 36 meters (without the goose) and a circumference of 33 meters. The spire is embellished with a golden goose, which Valdemar Atterdag put there to mock the German Hanseatic towns declaration of war (comparing them to a flock of geese - noisy but otherwise harmless).
Gaasetaarnet i Vordingborg. Det bedst bevarede middelalder taarn i Skandinavien. Bygget af Valdemar Atterdag i 1362-65. Taarnet er det eneste bevaret af Valdemars slot, der var hans kongelige residens, og rigets hovedstad, under hans styre. Gaasetaarnet er 36 meter hoejt (uden gaas) og har en omkreds på 33 meter. Spiret er udsmykket med en gylden gaas, som Valdemar Atterdag efter sigende satte op for at haane de tyske hansestaters krigserklaeringer (han sammenlignede dem med en flok gaes - farligt skraeppende men ellers harmloese).
