There is a very interesting Solar Clock in the back yard of the Sorgenfri Slot, which was built in 1705, 300 years ago. The building itself was wonderful, needless to say, but this solar clock is awesome. The mansion's backyard was filled with nature. This clock stood out prominently, as if it was a symbol of the mysteries of the universe on the earth. I don’t know when and who put this solar clock here. Even 300 years ago, the solar clock was a kind of decoration not a practical item. If it were not for this clock, the backyard was a mere luxurious garden. This solar clock make us feel the relationships between human beings and the universe and hold us in awe of the universe and royal authority.
