Det Kongelige Biblioteks Have - også kaldet Bibliotekshaven - er en lille oase midt i byen. Du finder den på Slotsholmen, mellem Christiansborg Slot og Det Kongelige Bibliotek. Haven ligger i umiddelbar nærhed af Finansministeriet og hvor Christian den fjerdes gamle børsbygning var placeret. Den er i dag præget af blomstrende bede og store skyggefulde træer. Kun det lave bassin i midten af haven røber, at der en gang lå en havn på dette sted.
Midt i haven står en vandskulptur, som udspyr kaskader af vand ved hvert timeslag i løbet af dagen. Den er udført af billedhugger Mogens Møller som et monument over det skrevne ord. Skulpturen er skænket til Det Kgl. Bibliotek i anledning af bibliotekets tilbygning, Den Sorte Diamant.
Haven er anlagt i 1920 af havearkitekt Jens Peder Andersen og slotsarkitekt Thorvald Jørgensen oven på Christian den fjerdes tidligere krigshavn, Tøjhushavnen. Havens tidligere maritime funktion afslører sig ved, at der i murværket for enden af haven er indmuret gamle fortøjningsringe til 16- og 1700-tallets skibe.
Midt i haven står også en skulptur af den verdensberømte filosof Søren Kierkegaard. Han skuer med et sørgmodigt blik - nogle mener, mod netop det sted i guldalderens København, hvor hans tabte kærlighed og forlovede Regine Olsen boede.
I havens fire græsklædte hjørnestykker er søjlebaser fra det gamle Christiansborg brugt som blomsteropsatser. Gennem haven løber en hovedakse, som skaber forbindelse mellem Rigsarkivets gård og hovedindgangen til Det Kongelige Bibliotek

EN: 
The Royal Library Garden – also called the Library Garden – is a small oasis and hidden gem in the heart of the city. You’ll find it on Slotsholmen, between Christiansborg Palace and the Royal Library. The garden is located near the Ministry of Finance and where Christian IV’s old stock exchange building (Børsen) once stood. Today, it is characterized by blooming flower beds and large, shady trees. Only the shallow basin in the middle of the garden hints that a harbor once existed here.
In the middle of the garden stands a water sculpture that cascades water at every hour during the day. Created by sculptor Mogens Møller, it serves as a monument to the written word. The sculpture was donated to the Royal Library to mark the addition of the library’s modern extension, the Black Diamond.
The garden was designed in 1920 by landscape architect Jens Peder Andersen and royal architect Thorvald Jørgensen on top of Christian IV’s former military harbor, Tøjhushavnen. Its previous maritime function is revealed by the old mooring rings from 16th and 17th-century ships embedded in the wall at the far end of the garden.
In the middle of the garden, you’ll also find a statue of the world-famous philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. He gazes sorrowfully – some say toward the very spot in Golden Age Copenhagen where his lost love and fiancée Regine Olsen once lived.
In the garden’s four grass-covered corners, column bases from the old Christiansborg Palace have been repurposed as flower stands. A central axis runs through the garden, connecting the courtyard of the National Archives with the main entrance to the Royal Library.
Task:
To log this virtual geocache, you must upload a photo with your log featuring either yourself (your face doesn’t need to be visible) or something showing your geocaching name in front of the Søren Kierkegaard statue.
Note that the photo must be taken at the statue. Feel free to add other pictures from your visit in your log so others can enjoy the changing seasons and life in the garden.
Enjoy your visit and happy caching!
