Kongens Nytorv, or King's Square, is a public square in Copenhagen centrally located at the end of the pedestrian street Stroget. The large square was laid out by Christian V in 1670 as an extension of the fortified city. The square has an equestrian statue of him created by the French sculptor Abraham-Cesar Lamoureux. There is also an old kiosk dating back from 1913 which nowadays is being used as an outdoor cafe.
